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.

I loved Jesse, I loved Howard. Both in their own way, but Howard's voice was going to shit on the last album they put out....Don't even consider it in their discog... Alive or Just Breathing was a masterpiece and will stand the test of time. As Daylight Dies was an incredible release as well....anything after that.....ehhhhh....

An inside source very close to one of the members of the band told me in confidence that they have been rehearsing with Ripper Owens and even mixing demos.

I really hope Phil Labonte isn't the new singer, his voice is good but it's all hat remains, hearing it over kse's stuff would be horrific.
