Despite the ever-growing hype train from the ashes of former Killswitch Engage frontman, Howard Jones and the other various artists joining on this new moniker, The Beauty Of Destruction leaves something to be desired. Devil You Know releases 47 minutes of passable metalcore filled to the brim with the nuances that made Jones' stint with KsE so successful. The Beauty Of Destruction is formulaic, but delivers everything it was meant to. 'For The Dead And Broken' stands as a distinguishable highlight.

Howard's powerful vocals can't save this from being an extremely boring metalcore album.

As much as it pains me to have to say this, The Beauty of Destruction is predictable, by-the-numbers metalcore. You can go ahead and shoot me down - especially since John Sankey and Howard Jones are involved in this supergroup - but considering the bandmates' history and all that jazz, I was expecting something more fleshed out and consistent production-wise. Oh, don't get me wrong, Devil You Know's debut album pretty much screams hidden strength. This contains one of Howard's best vocal performances, yet the underwhelming arrangements get terrifyingly close to leaving a bitter taste in my uvula.

i could write a proper soundoff for this but it would probably just be me sucking Howard's dick for like 3 sentences

Howard sounds awesome, but the music is very bland. I was so hyped for this album, and it was ultimately a let down because of generic songwriting.

I'm interested. since KSE was the band that got me into metal and the first KSE album I heard was 'As Daylight Dies' so hearing Howard jones return is exciting after he left for health reasons. The other members seem promising too. I hope this is good, but, We'll just have to wait and see...
