Massachusetts metal veterans KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have been working on new material as-of-late for their next record and follow-up to 2016’s Incarnate. The band has offered up the following update (see Instagram post below):
“Jam sessions starting up in October, demos are getting cranked out! 2018 we will be dropping some music and getting back on the road once again!”
Killswitch Engage is a melodic metalcore band from Westfield, Massachusetts, United States.
Formed in 1999 after the disbandment of Overcast and Aftershock. Killswitch Engage’s current lineup consists of vocalist Jesse Leach, bassist Mike D’Antonio, guitarists Joel Stroetzel and Adam Dutkiewicz, and drummer Justin Foley. The band’s membership has changed in the decade since its founding as illness, changes in life-situation, and new interests have drawn the men in different directions. The band has released seven studio albums (the latest one being Incarnate (2016) ) and one DVD.
Killswitch Engage rose to fame with its 2004 release The End of Heartache, which peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in December 2007 for over 500,000 shipments in the United States. The title track, “The End of Heartache”, was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005, and a live DVD titled (Set This) World Ablaze was released in 2005. Killswitch Engage has performed at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Ozzfest, Download Festival, Rock on the Range, Rock Am Ring, Mayhem Festival, and the Australian Soundwave Festival. The band has sold over one-million records in the United States alone and have been widely reffered to as “one of the founders of metalcore.”
