Riffalicious. Sounds good to me. That intro will get annoying fast though. Booooooring. 
I agree, but let's hope it's just something wrong with getting it from the web.

sounds as I thought it would.. very similar to all of Adam's recent productions..
I don't think judging the mix from a webrip is a good idea, BUT, holy shit those guitars are up in the mix! They sound awesome but, christ, it's all I can really hear well!

Agreed, and hopefully it's an internet thing. I know that in a lot of popular rock these days, the studio generally makes two bounces, the second being a bounce with the vocals turned up a couple dB more than the other...and then the band/label picks from there...but I was wondering, is this done in metal very often or is it really only of concern when you're going for a "popular" sound where a ridiculous up-front vocal is the focus?

While Howard is an amazing singer and frontman, I do feel that his melodies are less creative than Jesse Leach's. The title track from "The End Of Heartache" is probably Howard's strongest melody so far. "Element of One" is still probably the coolest chorus they've had overall.
Still, I enjoy the Killswitch sound. Every band has their tendencies, and predictability can set in after a few albums. It's not necesarrily a bad thing.
Am a massive Howard fan and KSE are one of my favourite bands at the moment. I'll have to admit that I'm slightly worried that they're going to milk that screamed verse/big melodic chorus formula for all it's worth. From the 5-track promo it sounds as though they're almost rehashing their own riffs.
Not using an outside producer also runs the risk of losing objectivity and not challenging yourself to not be repetitive from one album to the next.
I do love "This Fire Burns" and have listened to daily since I got it, but I've not heard a ball-tearer like "Rose" or "Heartache" on the 5-track sampler. I'll still live in hope that the rest of the album blows my nads off.
