To km... Like the article said, they've only missed now two shows in their entire 20+ year career. So f*** off to you (km) and anyone else who has a comment similar to his/her. I'd like to see you start a band, play shows and make records for 20 years and miss only 2 shows. I know you can't do that so f*** off. Hailz to Slayer.

ago when they were supposed to play in Lubbock because Tom's dad died.

again after all!

Hate to disagree with you brad but I find KSE new album is extremely
heavy a good blend of metalcore, death/thrash metal with Blackish elements to their sound. But it's cool that we can disagree in a civil
manner. And not like some Korn fans and certain ppl on this site.
That want to rip your head off. Because you kid around!

i just think they are trying pretty hard to drift away from the metalcore sound and a metal sound in general. they seem to be more accepting to the hardcore scene. i mean they just toured with f***ing from autum to ashes.

ugh
