Disarm the Descent is the sixth studio album by the US metalcore band Killswitch Engage . It was released on April 2, 2013 on Roadrunner Records . The album is the first album with singer Jesse Leach since Alive or Just Breathing (2002).
Origin and style
The album was produced by Adam Dutkiewicz and mixed by Andy Sneap . The band announced the return of Jesse Leach in January 2012 after the band and previous singer, Howard Jones, went their separate ways. In an interview with Loudwire , Leach described the album as the fastest record Killswitch Engage had ever released. He also let new vocal styles flow in:
“The music is definitely the fastest Killswitch record ever, it's very heavy but still maintains the signature Killswitch hooky, melodic stuff there too. There's definitely melody attached but I pulled out some new styles vocally, yelling and screaming and growling and layers and it sounds massive. "
“The music is definitely the fastest killswitch album of all time, it's very hard, but stays true to the characteristic killswitch hooks , there are also melodic things. There is definitely a melody, but I've resorted to some new vocal techniques, screaming and screeching and growling and overlays, and it sounds massive. "
reception
The album peaked at number 7 on the Billboard 200 . The reviews were largely positive. On the Metacritic.com website , the album averaged 79 out of 100 based on seven professional reviews.
