Killswitch Engage

At the start of this year, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE parted ways with their signer Howard Jones. Soon after, it was announced that their original singer Jesse Leach would take up his role again as a front man. KILLSWITCH ENGAGE clearly doesn’t like to waste their time, kicking off with a series of live shows and a new album to be released this summer.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE is an American metal core band from Westfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1999 after the dismantlement of bands OVERCAST and AFTERSHOCK. After a couple of line up changes in drums, guitar and vocals, the band gained notoriety in the scene pretty fast with the release of their third studio album ‘The end of Heartache’. The title song of this album was also the main single for the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The band became a settled name in the metal core scene with their next albums ‘As Daylight Dies’ and a self titled album ‘Killswitch Engage’ in 2009. The announcement of the sudden departure of front man Howard Jones after nine years was quickly followed by the news that initial front man Jesse Leach was to fill in his place. Gotten curious of what this means for KILLSWITCH ENGAGE? Check out their show at Tivoli!
