Massachusetts, United States (1999 – present)

Killswitch Engage are a metalcore band from Westfield, Massachusetts, United States.

Formed in 1999 after the disbandment of Overcast and Aftershock. Killswitch Engage’s current lineup consists of 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 five studio albums 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.”

Killswitch Engage formed when the two metalcore bands, Overcast and Aftershock disbanded during the late 1990s. Following the disbandment of Overcast in 1998, bassist Mike D’Antonio jammed with Aftershock guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz.

Maybe this band will stop sucking now that Jesse is back! They've gradually gone downhill ever since HoJo joined.

Oook ok,Howard has really powerful vocal and sceaming BUT Jessie is the one, who made those metalcore songs so meaningful and lyrically beautifull. It's not just about "You left me,I feel so bad,blah blah fuckin blahh". It's also about meaning of life itself, choices in life - Jessie is very smart guy, and his screaming-holy cow! }:7

I neither liked Jesse's vocals that much in the first two album, his screaming is good, but he like never sang.. but in Times of Grace he really showed me what he could do, and that was being fucking amazing! Still-.. Howard is like.. unbeatable.
