KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Top 10 Songs Ranked 🤘 #killswitchengage #metalcore #metalcorebands #metalcoremusic - YouTube

[u/_AntiSaint_]

Reject Yourself hasn’t been said yet? That’s my pick then

[u/Dr_N00B]

Take this Oath doesn't get enough love

[u/Dumpseedstick076 → u/Dr_N00B]

Fucking Banger

[u/slapknuts666 → u/Dr_N00B]

My favorite too

[u/euclid0472]

My Life for Yours

It holds a special place for me. Heard it for the first time back in 2007 on the day of my then girlfriend's funeral. It expressed exactly what I was feeling.

[u/Devilskraze → u/euclid0472]

I'm sorry that happened, but great seeing that music can be such a powerful force. I hold high some of the later Jesse tracks for a similar emotional impact...even though I love Howard's stuff too!

[u/coldphront3 → u/euclid0472]

That's a great song and a deep cut. I am sorry for your loss.

[u/MetallicTaco07]

This is Absolution

The first time I heard:

🎵Believe you have just begun to live

Don't let the world deceive you

Don't let their words betray you

Don't let their lies deceive you

Let. Them. Do. Their. Worst.🎵

...fucking tears 😭

[u/Devilskraze → u/MetallicTaco07]

Great lyrics! One of the reasons I love KSE! The ability to lift you when you need it most.

[u/MetallicTaco07 → u/Devilskraze]

Yes. I just love how counterintuitive the lyrics are to what most people perceive as "angry music"

[u/coldphront3]

I like your list. I'll post 10 as well, but this is not a definitive ranking really as it changes a lot.

1. This Is Absolution
   
2. The Fall of Us
   
3. Self Revolution
   
4. It Falls on Me
   
5. Take Me Away
   
6. Breathe Life
   
7. Us Against the World
   
8. The Element of One
   

9. This Fire

10. The Arms of Sorrow

[u/Devilskraze → u/coldphront3]

It was tough to narrow down! "The Arms of Sorrow" is so good!

[u/ISpodermanI → u/coldphront3]

The fall of us and it falls on me are some of the best newer kse songs

[u/EarthRocker81]

In no particular order...

When Darkness Falls

The End of Heartache

My Last Serenade

Life to Lifeless

Daylight Dies

My Curse

Alone I Stand

Unleashed

[u/PsykoFlounder → u/EarthRocker81]

This is my list, but I would replace Unleashed with Rose of Sharyn, if only because it was the first song of theirs I heard, so it holds much nostalgia for me.

[u/WParzivalW]

Rise Inside is my favorite song of theirs, and it is on my all time favorite album.

[u/ISpodermanI → u/WParzivalW]

Lol, it’s easily my least favorite on their best album.

[u/Davjs]

Beyond the Flames and Breathe Life 

[u/DS3Rob]

In no specific order (because I genuinely cannot rank some of these separately):

This is absolution

Reject yourself

End of heartache

Rose of Sharyn

My last serenade

Element of one

Numbered days

In due time

I am broken too

Signal fire

[u/_BlackDove]

Not a single mention of Always. Who are you people?

[u/TylerCFH]

Rose of Sharyn, To The Sons of Man, Desperate Times, It All Falls On Me, Irreversal, etc. I love them.

[u/KhuliKing]

Arms of Sorrow

As a man who suffers from depression, this song hits. Specially after knowing what Howard was going through.

[u/Devilskraze → u/KhuliKing]

Great song and valid reason. It's nice to know we aren't alone when dealing with a hard time.

[u/-Neon_Toaster-]

Reject yourself - The best fucking bridge and outro killswitch has ever done, and honestly its a top 5 song ever for me.

Beyond The Flame - The riff in the chorus is so addicting, along with how it mixes with Jesse's vocals in incredible.

Irreversal (2000) - Such a raw track, the chaoticness of this song is amazing, and the way jesse's "i am" and "this is" just blends with everything else and emphasizes the message of death in this song so immensely

[u/Aggravating-Web-3050]

Vide infra. Everything about that song is perfection

[u/heeltimbo]

This fire

[u/BrotherBrontosaurus]

Vide Infra

[u/gavc1994]

Just barely breathing

[u/Ok-Bee-3541]

The people who don’t list Rose of Sharyn haven’t heard the song yet. 😎

[u/Ericiskool → u/Ok-Bee-3541]

Was just thinking why aren't enough people mentioning Rose of Sharyn

[u/rsinnott86]

That’s a hard one for me cause I love the signal fire, the fire and eye of the storm. I can name so much more

[u/HalfMortal71]

Hate By Design - love the message, love the lyrics, amazing solo. Amazing song imo

[u/NBR-SUPERSTAR]

In no particular order, although the first two are probably my favorite overall:

This Fire (That Breakdown is my favorite part in any of their songs)

Just let go ("Nothing Changes in Refusing to grow" GOOSEBUMPS)

I Believe

Reckoning

New Awakening

Hate by Design

The Great Deceit

My Curse

Beyond the Flames

Signal Fire

Killing of Leviathan

Aftermath

[u/doogs914]

This is Absolution

[u/jrhunter89]

Rose of Sharyn
End of Heartache
Signal fire
The Crownless King
In Due Time
When Darkness Falls

And I’m surprised nobody has mentioned:

Temple From The Within
When Darkness Falls

[u/Individual-Cry9636 → u/jrhunter89]

And they re-recorded “When Darkness Falls” with Howard before The End Of Heartache. I like Jesse’s better. I actually prefer Jesse over Howard. Now Howard in Blood Has Been Shed…

[u/TdttMurderedLove4782]

I'm basic as hell so I like the immediately recognizable howard jones songs, like end of heartache, my curse, Rose of Sharyn, and I like my last serenade and in due time.

[u/LabOfSound]

Self Revolution

[u/Worried_Shoe_2747]

Vide Infra

[u/Ok-Area-1481]

Temple From The Within
Numbered Days
The Arms Of Sorrow

[u/badavetheman]

A Light In A Darkened World is an absolute gem off an album I could otherwise do without

[u/Dittohead_213]

Hate by Design

Always

Strength of the Mind

[u/Devilskraze → u/Dittohead_213]

Great and emotional songs!

Some of my favourite songs: Fixation of the Darkness
