"The End of Heartache" is the title track and second single from Killswitch Engage's third studio album The End of Heartache. The song also appeared as the theme song for the 2004 zombie action film Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
The song became the band's breakthrough single, peaking at no. 31 on the Mainstream Rock Chart.[2] The song has since become associated with professional wrestler Roderick Strong, who has used End of Heartache as his theme song on numerous occasions, most recently in All Elite Wrestling.[3]
Music video
Two videos were produced for the song. The video edit of the song features mostly clean singing from vocalist Howard Jones with a few background screams, much like the video for "My Curse".
The first video shows the band performing the song inter-cut with footage from Resident Evil: Apocalypse along with close-up shots of the band playing.[4]
The second video cuts out the Resident Evil: Apocalypse footage and cuts between shots of the band performing the song.[5]
Reception
The song was included on Revolver's list of "16 Great Non-Hair-Metal Power Ballads".[6]
Awards
The song was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, but lost to "Whiplash" by Motörhead.[7]
