New single accomplishes what it set out to be- a catchy pop metalcore song. It’s solid. But whoever said it goes harder than Serenade is high af.

To this day, KSE was the most packed concert I've ever been to. I'm talking packed like sardines, pressed up against at least 4 people at any given time, could barely move for most of the show. It was wild. Also a crazy ratio of girls for a metal set, almost 50/50

Only saw them once in 07. Sadly without Adam D but good show, Chimaira and He is Legend also brought it! Dragonforce was in fact Dragonforce.

Ironically the worst show I’ve ever attended was KSE around 2007-2008ish. They were comically quiet, and I could have a normal volume conversation with the guy next to me while the band was performing. Also, Howard was sick and he said it like 5x throughout the show. It came across as whining. The entire performance was a joke.



Then Lamb of God came out after and destroyed the place with a 10/10 performance. Still love KSE, though.

"Only saw them once in 07. Sadly without Adam D but good show, Chimaira and He is Legend also brought it! Dragonforce was in fact Dragonforce."



I used to say without concern that KSE was my least favorite live band. First saw them on Ozzfest '03, then taste of chaos twice, then a few more times over the years. The usually *sound* great. But they just look fuckin' dumb up there idk what to say. I don't like Adam's stage vibe, despite being directly responsible for so much of my core music, this album specifically. If you present yourself as a joke I can't help but take you as one, sorry.



I also saw that tour, and Chimaira blew the rest off the fucking stage. Low lights, basically just used white backlights and strobes, they looked fucking tough as shit, especially compared to the goofy presence of the other three bands.
