[TenSecondSongs]

Picture this. It’s mid summer, 2004 and I’ve been listening to the End of Heartache so much that my CD has already started to skip at random songs because of the scratches from my Walkman. I’m sitting on a bench at 7pm at the park by my house. As “Hope is...” ends Numb begins to play. I think to myself, I haven’t heard this song before, it must be a bonus track. I take it in as I stare towards the summer leaves, slow dancing with the breeze, admiring how gold the sun makes everything look at this time of day. I sit and contemplate my life, my dreams, and how I don’t want to go back to school in a couple of weeks.

I just realized why he decided to do a Linkin Park song this month
R.I.P. Chester

Killswitch: "well boys, we don't need to cover that song now" lmao

[SgtTyrjin]

The attention to detail on mimicking Howard’s lead vocals and Adam’s backing voice, the placements of where you fry your voice, the guitar effects, drum patterns....everything. You are a true master of your craft. Excellent job, Sir! This was perfectly executed.

[ataberkyavas]

Adam D backing vocals was on point too didn’t expect that.

[cahsahhhhhhhn]

This is exactly what it would have sounded like if Killswitch Engage had done a cover

[geekgodofdeath]

This is the most 2000's thing ever and i love it

[disturbedpyro]

It's crazy how much you actually sound like Howard Jones! This is EXACTLY how Killswitch Engage would cover Numb.

[jwiggs]

The Howard Jones era will forever be my Killswitch, such a perfect metal vocalist.

[thefoxcrimson]

I am a big fan of Killswitch. I am a big fan of Linkin Park (rest in peace, Chester).
This song right here, sent Chills Down My Spine.
Great work, Anthony! Love this and love the rebrand too :)

[attackofthemutant]

"And be less like you" at 1:31 was spot on, just as Adam. Brilliant dude.

[XSicarriiX]

This has been one of the best “In the Style Of” vids Anthony has done. Totally nailed the style of KSE in full. This and Anthony’s version of Bad Guy in Breaking Benjamin style are my two favorites

[justenyoderyoder]

Chester would be proud to hear this. Well done sir. *slow claps* *single tear*

[dylanbennett]

Howard has, in my opinion, one of the best voices in metal and you nailed the impression. Numb is also one of my all-time favourite songs so this is just amazing all around for me! 🤘

[jshady]

I started listening to this, and my wife from across the room says “I didn’t know KSE covered this song!” SO well done!

[ozanyoung]

Using Arms of Sorrow as a reference for this was a smart call.

[TheSinlessAssassin]

"And be less like you" with the distorted Adam D voice YES LOL

[callummorgan]

I didn't think it was possible to make this song more emotional... I was wrong. I am currently sobbing.

[yousefshorafa]

What's amazing about this cover is that the style and the song are a perfect match; it actually sounds like something Killswitch Engage would do!

[alfredneumann]

Plot twist: Anthony asked KSE to play the backing track themselves and they did
