From Killswitch Engage, released in 2006.
It hasn’t stopped selling.
Not bad for an album that Dutkiewicz once said in a Guitar World interview, “had riffs in it, so he could play and drink beer at the same time”.
Last week it moved 2,000 copies on vinyl. It was already certified Gold in 2009 by the RIAA and the song “My Curse,” was certified Platinum in 2020. At the moment it has over 122 million streams on Spotify.
Howard Jones was on lead vocals with the usual crew of Adam Dutkiewicz on lead guitar, vocals, keyboards and Joel Stroetzel on rhythm guitar. Mike D’Antonio on bass and Justin Foley on drums.
“Daylight Dies” (the song) was also certified Gold in 2009 and their cover of “Holy Diver” was certified Gold in 2020 and at the moment it has over 75 million streams on Spotify.
“This Fire” is at 49.2 million streams. It’s basically “Fixation On The Darkness” just shorter. And it’s used as CM Punks theme song in WWE.
Combining all things great from the Swedish Melodic Death Metal scene with the American thrash scene and a nod to hard rock and classic rock bands, “As Daylight Dies” captures it all.
The album kept the band on the road for three years. But it also strained the relationship between Dutkiewicz and Jones, which eventually led to the departure of Jones and the return of original vocalist, Jesse Leach.
If you like your melodic metal then check out tracks like “Arms Of Sorrow” (it has this “Back In The Village” solo section) and “My Curse” (the big radio single) which has aggressive hardcore verses and a massive arena rock Chorus. Make sure you listen to the head banging verse riff.
“For You” moves between some of the darkest, progressive and heaviest riffs in the verses to the most melodic riffs in the Chorus.
Check out the intro to “Break The Silence” and if you’re not a fan of the screaming verses, stick around for the Chorus.
“Reject Yourself” is loaded with a lot of good riffs.
P.S. There is no way you could play the riffs on this album and drink beer at the same time, as there is a lot of LH movement.

Cool that it’s one of those albums that continually sells through whatever trend there is at the time.
A band I never got in to, but if that is 80’s Howard Jones on vocals, I might need to check it out. But I am sure that it is not.
Nope not the 80s Howard Jones. Lol
That would be cool had it been though!!
Can you believe this album not on Apple Music!! all the others are
So weird how all of those licenses works as Spotify has it.
