As Daylight Dies, Killswitch Engage's fourth studio album, came out on Roadrunner on November 21, 2006, the sound of the Westfield, Massachusetts, band pressing its advantage after The End of Heartache had made them stars. Guitarists Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel produced it themselves, and it's metalcore at its most polished and punishing: chugging, surgical riffs, Justin Foley's drums hammering underneath with Mike D'Antonio's bass, and Howard Jones swinging from guttural roars to huge, soulful choruses in the space of a bar.
"My Curse" became a platinum-selling single, and the Mainstream Rock chart also found room for "The Arms of Sorrow" and the band's take on Dio's "Holy Diver". On the Billboard 200 it got as high as number 32, shifting up to 60,000 copies in week one, and it eventually went platinum. A special edition followed on August 28, 2007, with new cover art, four B-sides and a DVD.
