To the leftover metal heads: i just witnessed a travesty on u-tube, killswitch engage did a cover of Dio`s Holy Diver and these big biscuit heads butchered it. Main stream speed metal does not mix with ol school rythm metal, especially the likes of a overlord such as Ronnie J. This is SACRILEGE.:nono:

I just watched the video, and although the lead singer cannot match Dio's voice, I think the band is tight. The guitarists and the drummer do a fine job at a modern interpretation of this classic tune. It's refreshing to see a young band pay tribute to their "forefathers".:thmbsp:

They even capture the 80's "cheesiness" in the video.

I don't like their current singer Howard as much as their original singer Jesse Leech. They sounded more metal and harder when Jesse was the singer.

Agree. My son turned me on to KsE several years ago. Their older stuff is better.

I've been getting more into current metal bands.
What other current metal bands do you like?
