PO - Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing

[piky0032 371]

2017 marks the 15 year anniversary of the release of 'Alive Or Just Breathing'. To commemorate this occasion, we're releasing a 180-Gram black vinyl edition of the album, to be released in stores on May 12, 2017! You can preorder it now along with exclusive merch at our official store:

The vinyl will also be available on tour starting 5/5 in Long Island. 

So you can celebrate the anniversary (not to mention Cinco De Mayo!) properly, we've teamed up with our good friends at Cigar City Brewing for our very own New England Style IPA - 'Alive Or Just Brewing'! The beer can be found in limited release in the New York City and Tampa, FL markets, as well as on tap at the Cigar City Tasting Room in Tampa. The beer will also be tapped at The Paramount for our May 5 show on the #Killthrax Tour with Anthrax, The Devil Wears Prada and Code Orange.

Here's to hoping for an Amazon order....because $24us for shipping to Australia aint happening

[VinylMario 106]

I liked this singer the best back then. I was kinda upset when he left the band at first but later got used to Howard's sound.

[shadowkid33 201]

This was one of my first favorite metal albums in high school and I've been waiting for it to get pressed for years. Couldn't be more excited, holding out to see if any variants drop before I order!

Mostly likely will be on Amazon, considering it's on black vinyl

Yeh exactly what i was thinking.....mentions being a store release as well.

 

Slightly underwhelmed by the pre order options......would have expected a cool box set.....bit more imagination would have been nice

 

Still stoked its getting pressed finally

[Le Gogh 285]

Yes!!! Finally! I was literally wondering this week if it would ever be pressed. Definitely in for this. 

[VinylMario 106]

Same here glad it's being pressed, but over $32 shipped? Maybe I will wait it out a bit and see if Amazon gives a better deal...

[Le Gogh 285]

Yeah having just looked, it's $24 shipped to the UK. I'll hold out for some UK stock, or AMAZON USA to get it in or something.

hopefully we will get as daylight dies or the end of heartache repress...because howard > jesse

[throughbeingcruel 810]

I'm so down for this. I'd love a The End of Heartache repress too.

Blasphemy! 

[Reshiram454 267]

Oh man, one of the most important albums of my high school days (even though that was like, two years ago). I'm beyond excited for this.

Was just coming in here to say "Fuck that and repress the End of Heartache!"

We may be some of the few but I prefer Howard as well.
As Daylight Dies and The End Of Heartache is their absolute best stuff hands down.

[piky0032 371]

Have seen them both live a couple of times and after seeing the AOJB tour im absolutely a Jesse Fan

 

But they are both rad.....EOHA and Daylight were on such heavy rotation for me when they were released...and for years after

hmm...I just saw some live footage and jesse cant come close to the howard material...especially holy driver.

Footage doesnt always portray a live gig though......ive seen them both about 4 times each and the AOJB gig a couple of weeks ago was by far the best time i have seen them

[andydrums 67]

So happy this is finally being pressed.  Pretty sure Jesse told someone on twitter a while back that they were also planning to press the first s/t album.

 

The End of Heartache & As Daylight Dies were only repressed a couple of years ago....That's when I got my TEIH, so can't see those being repressed just yet.

Yea, I get that. ive only seen them with howard, but I don't see jesse's sound being much different live from audio but never liked him

um, you sure about that? I haven't seen any repressed and discogs show they were only pressed in 06/07, so about 10 years...

[regan138 18]

Bummer....I thought they'd do a color run or something special for the anniversary and all. This was a very important album for me years ago....slightly let down, but happy the album will get a proper vinyl release finally.

Could not agree more. KSE just doesn't hit home for me like they used to since Howard's departure. Fingers crossed Roadrunner represses EOH and As Daylight Dies, along with a pressing of the last S/T release. But we all know Roadrunner refuses to issue represses....i.e Slipknot's Iowa.

Jesse all the way  seen them both 5 times live.. Howard has more range on highs, but fell flat many times I seen them live with him.

Love them both though. This is 1 of the most important crossover albums ever

Anyone has a hookup on the Beer, PM me we can work out a trade

Anyone found an Amazon link or anything other than the webstore?
