Description
Killswitch Engage – Alive or Just Breathing (2002) CD
Alive or Just Breathing is the breakthrough second album from American metalcore pioneers Killswitch Engage, released in 2002 on Roadrunner Records. This is the final album to feature original vocalist Jesse Leach before his 2012 return, making it a key collectible for fans of early‑era KSE.
The record is widely regarded as one of the defining releases of the metalcore movement, blending melodic hooks with crushing riffs, technical drumming, and emotionally charged lyrics. Standout tracks like My Last Serenade, Fixation on the Darkness, and Just Barely Breathing helped cement the band’s reputation and influenced an entire generation of heavy music.
