Killswitch Engage - Atonement Tour
with August Burns Red, Light The Torch
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE exists deep within the eye of the storm, wielding the thunderous power of the elements like metallic alchemists, touching a nerve with the disenfranchised, and crafting populist anthems that both challenge the status quo and rally those who society casts aside. Across multiple albums, videos, and worldwide tours, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE forged a musical foundation steeped in classic heavy metal, melodic death metal, and early punk/hardcore, and built a following across economic, political, religious, international and social divides.
No matter the climate, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE makes trend-resistant, timeless heavy music that has elevated them to the critical and community status of the greatest of American metal bands. The fiercely individual yet collaboratively resilient New Englanders have also commanded respect and appreciation from all corners. Having shared the stage with acts ranging from Rise Against to Slayer, the diversity and versatility of their touring reach is unparalleled. As headliners on celebrated tours like Ozzfest, Vans Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos, Rockstar Mayhem, and countless international festivals, their influence reigns on a worldwide scale.
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE anthems, singles, and live staples, like "Fixation on the Darkness," "My Last Serenade," "A Bid Farewell," "My Curse," "Always," and "In Due Time," have had staying power and appeal to all generations of metal fans worldwide.
The band's seventh studio album, INCARNATE, possesses a stack of new KILLSWITCH ENGAGE anthems certain to set the heavy music world ablaze once more. A defiant cry to let go of the past, to keep away from scars that resurface, "Cut Me Loose" will resonate with anyone who struggles with anxiety or depression. "Hate by Design" also challenges our habit of tearing down when we should be building up, while "It Falls On Me" was penned during singer Jesse Leach's solitary trips into the wilderness, where deep reflection and meditation resulted in the most intense of spiritual yearning. "The Great Deceit" is the heaviest song on the record, a scathing screed against the corruption that exists within government, organized religion, and other institutions. It's not so much choosing a side as calling "bullshit" across the board, enlivened by the spirit of The Clash and Bad Brains that's also a vital part of the Killswitch DNA.
"I find myself not in the light and not in the darkness, but dead in the middle, pleading to both sides, trying to find balance and peace," says the singer, with characteristic honesty and humility. "I haven't lost my faith, per se. But I'm not swallowing the contradictions or the dogma of everything we were all taught."
