This CD is really, really good. I thouroughly enjoy listening to it and think the bonus music on the second disk is also great. The DVD is not so good but the extra tracks are definitely worth it.
My favourite track is 'This Is Absolution', closely followed by 'My Curse'.
Worth the money!

If you missed the original version of this album, you definitely need to get this. Aside from the original cd, which still stands strong as a classic modern metal album, there are 4 bonus tracks and a dvd.
The first 2 new tracks 'Be One' and 'Let The Bridges Burn' are fantastic songs that could (and perhaps should) have been included first time round. 'This Fire' (or 'This Fire Burns' as it's mainly known) is an already popular song, in part due to WWE Superstar CM Punk using it for his entrance music. A perfect example of KSE's fusion of melodic and heavy styles of metal, it deserves its place on this album. Last, but definitely not least is the cover of 'Holy Diver'. It's a storming cover version which again, manages to show off the bands incredible talent.

It's harder to rave about the bonus dvd though. While the videos for 'My Curse', 'The Arms Of Sorrow' and 'Holy Diver' are in turn great, captivating and humorous, the 'making of' features on the first 2 videos are run of the mill stuff (spare for Adam D's amusing antics), and not really something worth watching more than once.

That said it is great to have the bands latest videos released on one disc, and with the now extended version of the original album, plus some fantastic new artwork, this really is one metal album you can't live without.

even if you already own a copy of this album from when it was originally released still buy this album.
its well worth it for the extra tracks and the wiked making of the videos.

Special UK two disc (C D + PAL/Region 2 DVD) Edition of the band's 2006 release features a full six panel digipak with four bonus audio tracks on the CD and a bonus DVD featuring the videos from the album including the 'Holy Diver' video that sees the band hamming it up mediaeval-style. With their fourth album, As Daylight Dies, Killswitch Engage are proving that if you keep playing the game your way, you'll eventually change the rules for everyone else. As Daylight Dies isn't just a testament to the band's original vision; it's also their strongest fusion of aggression, melody, Rock and Metal to date.

as i suggested in the title this albulm is bloddy amazing and now rereleased with added bonuses. If you do not have this albulm you are seriously missing out and nows a better time than ever as you get the albulm with the great 'holy diver' cover plus videos and other previously unreleased tracks.

This album is a great album fromm a great uprising metal bands at the moment. The special edition includes their amazing cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" aswell as WWE Superstar CM Punk's theme "This Fire". I urge all metal fans to buy this album, you will not be dissappointed

Wow! I just brought this album, if you havent heard of KsE before, then the amazing artwork should be enough to attract you to this album!
I got into them after hearing their cover of Holy Diver, which is fantastic, and does the original justice!
I suggest you buy this album now!

Well what can i say?! Well to start... INCREDIBLE!!! The original tracks are fabulous, no doubt about it. But then the bonus tracks, ppphhhwwwaaarrrr!!! And then as for Holy Diver, its bjust the icing on the cake!! A spectacular and well worth the buy!!!

When a band ever reissues an album with a few little extras on it, and release it a couple of months down the line theres always a strange uneasy feeling that you've been cheated or something like that. BUT! this time 'As Daylight Dies' Special Edition must be bought!...

CD inlcudes: 4 extra tracks, inlcuding a exclusive cover of Dio's 'Holy Diver'...

DVD includes: Behind the scenes footage and bons DVD videos for tracks such as 'My Curse' plus more

MUST BUY! IN 2007!
For Fans Of; Trivium, In Flames

Though this album may trigger massive discontent amongst fans who picked up on Killswitch during their alive or just breathing tour. it will most definately appeal to those who are somewhat reluctant to classify themselves as fans of the metal genre.

They're many similarities between this album and its predecessor, and what it does do is extend and deepen KSE's powerful, magnetic and energetic surge.

The choruses are catchy and refuse to let you go amid a flurry of riffs, in terms of lyrics the band fail to stand out. Although they use lyrics as tools which best express and portray Jones' strengths. The chorus's are in typical KSE fashion. The chorus in every KSE track is the foundation of the song and everything else serves to build on it.
However this is somewhat distinctive for an act who are regularly branded as "Metalcore", it is something they employ to gain a much larger fan base and could be the penultimate factor in pushing KSE into the dark, deep and unfamiliar territory that is "mainstream" music.

Adam Dutkiewicz performs the role of gutairist and backing vocals to an effect where he creates an atmosphere ideal for Jones's emphatically harmonious solo's.

"My Curse" is the first single. Beginning with a slow, simple yet amicably done guitar solo, Dutkiewicz yells are reminiscent of the late Kurt Cobain's, though still hold elements of calmness. Backing vocals here play a supportive role and whereas other bands might use this feature as something which plays off the leading vocals, Dutkiewicz and Jones are somewhat of a partnership.

"The Arms of Sorrow" begins with an aspect of tranquillity whilst in the background something is growing and this eclipses when Jones flexes his vocals and you know you have a KSE song which you will remember and are attracted to despite your personal genre tastes.

KSE represent the re-emergence of "metal core" acts, and they have built the foundations strong enough to support the claim that in the not too distant future they could be as successful or perhaps more than Metallica. Yet "As Daylight Dies" is KSE's third full length LP and it may take another two or three before the sales reach that of Metallica's. Early indications look more then promising but KSE still have quite a distance to travel.
