Music genre
The music between Killswitch Engage and Blood Has Been Shed differs in that Blood Has Been Shed is less melodic and more influenced by moshcore, i. This means that the songs also contain particularly slowly played parts, so-called mosh parts, which gain their expressiveness through the down-tuned and extremely distorted guitars. In addition, Howard Jones rarely uses his voice clearly.
