PUBLISHER’S PICK OF THE WEEK (By Adam Waldman)

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE – “I Can’t Be The Only One”

An anthem of rage that addresses the human condition, the message of “I Can’t Be The Only One” has taken on a new meaning since it’s release at the end of February.  Written and recorded well before the coronavirus pandemic that has stopped the world in its tracks, this song now seems prophetic.  Amazingly, despite a threat that doesn’t discriminate by political beliefs or pay heed to borders of any kind, we still find ourselves as divided as ever.  The sage wisdom contained within “I Can’t Be The Only One” embraces the mindset that is needed to defeat this invisible enemy…“United, we overcome, undivided, we are the sum.”  The relentless, pulsating rhythm of this track combined with uplifting guitars and angst-ridden vocals energizes you while slapping you in the face with a harsh dose of reality.
