People don’t realize that this is what we(musicians) hear when we listen,write, play metal music. Sean managed to catch the pure and true essence of metal in the most beautiful way possible.
@@johnchapman5425 Best comment of all /threadends. What many don't know in our world of metal, is we hear something different, we hear a sercet song behind every metal song. It is a hidden feature, a feature only those who are touched can understand, those who will, and shall, perceive. Exactly what you say, when I hear metal, this is what I hear, regular pleople hear lyrics and all that jazz, blah, they do not know the true emotions that go on in these.
And here I sit, liking nearly all the comments. Hopefully it'll have a positive impact on the algorithm to maybe push this masterpiece just a little bit more.
Rose of Sharyn gets to me every time... Can't listen to it without remembering those who are now gone from my life. "It won't be long... We'll meet again".
@@habitualgamer_4655 yes! With a different album. Like Self Titled '09 if I had to pick. It would really work cause during the recording of that record, Howard was going through some stuff. He was pushed to his limits by Brendan O’Brien (producer). So you’ll somewhat feel he felt when listening.
@@kenweyrauch2325 yes that would be the most amazing thing or something kind of like breaking Benjamin’s Aurora or demon hunters Songs of Death and Resurrection
Awesome job as always Sean. As one commenter pointed out in your previous Chillswitch Engage album, your music conveys what we all feel when we listen to metal in a way non metal listeners can understand.
Love this comment! People don’t realize that this is what we hear when we listen,write, play metal music. Sean managed to catch the pure and true essence of metal in the most beautiful way possible.
I wish I could love this more. THIS is what I try to explain to people about the music I listen to. The melody underlying it all. The structure and tone of the screams. The way riffs progress and grow on one another.
What a great Ode to one of the greatest singers of all time Howard Jones. I saw him perform with Killswitch Engage live several times throughout the years when he was with them. By far one of the GREATEST metalcore albums of all time. It is soo wonderfully beautiful sounding on piano. I am never going to turn this off and just keep it on repeat. \m/
YESSSSS! I fucking loved Chillswitch Engage. I listen a few times a month while programming. This is something I've been waiting for. Thank you so much, Sean.
I love Chillswitch but just noticed this post. I've been working remotely and put this on to have something to work to. Bad idea! I was way too enthralled to get any work done, another great collection of beautiful work. "There is no forever, just today. Don't let your, your sacrifice waste away."
I can't tell you what this means to me. There just are no words so I'll let this beautiful music speak my soul and say that which words could never convey. Thank you.
Funny you say that. At my wedding, someone started playing the wrong playlist and End of Heartache blasted during our reception dinner. Best mistake ever 🤣
Rarely do I feel the want to comment on anything, but this is just sublime perfection. As an avid killswitch fan since my teens, this resonates on a level that brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for your time and effort for producing such a remarkable remake of one of the greatest albums of a generation. Peace
I LOVE THIS!!! What a beautiful cover of one of the best metal albums EVER! And, one of the best albums PERIOD, in my opinion. Does anyone know any similar albums to the original? Would love to find some. This album brings me right back to middle school, its one of the only albums that is always with me, wherever I go. Definitely one of the best albums to lift weights to! Thank you Sean, YOU ROCK!!!
I goddamn love these long full album ones. I used to think I was talented in music, then a damn piano player comes along and shows me how little I know. Keep it up. Absolutely amazing.
@@seantownsendmusic hopefully you earn something out of this other than gratitude. you've done something incredible for us and you deserve the spotlight!
Something I didn't know I needed, but jesus christ man.. absolutely beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the sort of music that makes me contemplate life itself.
Just felt obligated to tell you that this and your other video have gotten me through some very hard times when I needed this music but mellowed out. Truly grateful
Opened RU-vid to search something else. Saw this in my suggested section. Had top open new tab to search what I came here for. Then came right back to this tab once I shared the link I came for.
absolutely beautful! when you thought the album couldn't and shouldn't need any change what so ever this album just swept that thought way way away from existence! Killswitch all day, Chillswitch all evening/night
Sean, please PLEASE keep doing this. I listen to Chillswitch all the time, and I am just now getting started on this one for the first time... this stuff is great!!
You are so talented. These Killswitch Engage covers are so beautiful and relaxing to listen to. It would be a dream come true if you covered some songs from Spiritbox sometime.
Your video showed up on my wall this morning. Out of curiosity... sure lets give it a go. WOW! I love the original KSE album. It moved me. You cover album not only does it justice but brought me to tears multiple times. Such an amazing piece of work. You are so very talented. I am now a subscriber and listening to your other pieces. Please keep up the amazing work! I cannot understand how you are only at 36k followers.
Your original Chillswitch video is what tipped me over the edge to learn piano, as a guitarist of 15 years. Once again you've knocked it out of the park with this.
It's been snowing non-stop where I live...this album is a reflection of that. Cold, somber, yet beautiful....still the sun has to come out sooner or later.
Who knew Santa was a metal loving pianist called Sean! Thanks for the awesome early Christmas present! Have a good one and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next year! Amazing stuff, as always
dude your music is a true inspiration for me. it lifts me and helps me reflect on things. I am a long time kill switch engage fan and this album was one of the first I ever owned. to hear it stripped down and then elevated into almost new material is something to behold. keep it up. your a legend.
When it's bedtime for my kids, I play your Spotify channel on the speaker that's in their bedroom. Lights out in 15 tops. It's so peaceful, amazing work my dude.
Thank you for releasing this content. Just realized I never commented before now. Just want to let you know this music gave me peace during a time of uncertainty and has kept a more positive mindset.
I love to listen to this while I'm editing video. It's background enough to not be obtrusive, but familiar enough to be present. This is utterly fantastic.
Awesome man, I know you made some of the songs before, but this is still great. Thanks for the hard work! If only the band listned to it. What a feeling of reminiscences.
Dude, I love jamming out to these. So much emotion can be heard and I try to bring that through my drums. Gonna have to record some drums to these and shoot them over to ya. Thanks for the jams!!!
