Killswitch Engage

The Alternative-Metal troupe Killswitch Engage formed in Boston, Massachusetts USA, in 1999 from the ashes of New England hardcore bands; the initial line-up was Jesse Leach on vocals, Joel Stroetzel on guitar, Mike D'Antonio on bass and Adam Dutkiewitz on drums.

The band immediatly made an impact on the regional touring scene and an opening slot for In Flames attracted the attention of Ferret Music label who signed them in 2000 and released their self-titled debut album that summer.
Killswitch Engage continued to experiment with unusual combinations of ferocious sound and melodic Metal and with its fan base ballooning the band jumped to Roadrunner Records in 2001; a year later their second album, "Alive Or Just Breathing", was released. It broke into the Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart spawning the single "My Last Serenade" which was a moderate Metal-radio hit.
A few changes in the line-up followed, Howard Jones stepped in to replace Leach, Dutkiewitz switched to the guitar and they were joined behind the drum kit by newcomer Justin Foley; thus reconfigured, Killswitch Engage released its third full-length disc, "The End Of Heartache", which climbed to #21 on The Billboard Top 200 Albums list while the title-track hit #31 on The Mainstream Rock chart.

The New England quintet, will release their new album and third for Roadrunner, "As Daylight Dies", on November 21st; the 11-track set includes the single "My Curse".
