Album Description
The title track of The End Of Heartache is an unabashed monster of a song, different than anything the band has ever written. Its epic drive nearly crosses the border into power-ballad territory. "Rose of Sharyn" is an anthem that's heavy in the most non-traditional of senses, building with dynamic energy into a crescendo with a chorus that is perhaps The End of Heartache's biggest reward. "When Darkness Falls," heard during the closing credits of "Freddy Vs. Jason," was the first song Jones ever wrote with the band and falls right into place on The End Of Heartache. With "Breathe Life" he delivers a heartfelt optimism that really makes the track ‘pop’ with, "breathe life/ for you are not alone/ breathe life/ inside your heart of stone."

Guitar World, 6/2004
"The songs are longer, more metallic and the choruses more epic, than those of the previous release."

Revolver Magazine, 6/2004
"Tracks "A Bid Farewell", "World Ablaze", and "Rose of Sharyn" simply kill any of the offerings from the previous release."

Customer Reviews

Heavy and Catchy, whats not to like???
I love this album plain and simple, and this is coming from a guy who lives for death metal like kalmah, amon amarth, mors principium est, insomnium, meshuggah and much more.

this album is choc full of great riffs and awesome vocals, in fact, im starting to think this is the kind of vocalist in flames are trying to imitate. well there later stuff anyway.

all in all this is a great album and in my opinion much better that as daylight dies. check it out!!

not for everyone
You have to really appreciate loud, intense vocal growls to get into this album. It lacks vocal melodies for the most part, and contains unmemorable guitar riffs and solos that were influenced by old school metal bands such as Metallica. The music is just too obnoxious and annoying for me.

nice
awsome again from killswitch great metal like killswitch always has. Killswitches song the end of heartache was a major breakout on the residentevil apocalypes soundtrack after hearing the song at the end of the residentevil apocalypes movie i knew that was KS, so enstead of buying the residentevil apocalypes soundtrack i just brought the killswitch engage album that had the song in it. And that album was great from KS all their albums were great especially their album alive or just breathing that album was awsome but this album was great to nice album.
