History


Quote:
Killswitch Engage (KsE or Killswitch) is a metalcore band from Westfield, Massachusetts. The band's name originated from the break-up of Overcast and Aftershock, using aspects that pushed and elevated the band and putting the combination into a new category. D'Antonio commented "basically shutting everything down that we once knew and starting over. Killswitch, which is like turning everything off. Like if someone’s hand gets caught in something in a metal working shop the foreman will press one button that will turn off the machines. A killswitch. Then the engage is just turning it back on or something like that".

The band released its self-titled debut album in 2001 and, although initially the album was not a financial success and didn't enter any charts, it got the attention of Ferret Music founder Carl Severson. In november 2001 they began to work on their second album and when it has been released in 2002, "Alive or Just Breathing" was called "more addictive than crack cocaine thats been smothered in nicotine AND drenched with chocolate" by CMJ New Music Report and was a signpost on the bands musical journey toward their third release.

"The End of Heartache", the 3rd album was released with their new vocal and their new drummer (came to the band in 2002-2003) and peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200 with 38,000 sales in its first week. The album received mostly positive reviews, with Jon Caramanica of Rolling Stone calling the album a "stunning collection, retaining
much of their signature musical brutality".

Recorded in three months, "As Daylight Dies" was released on November 21, 2006 and peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart with 60,000 sales in its first week; Decibel Magazine contributor Nick Terry said "To call "As Daylight Dies" addictive would be an understatement. That it outdoes its already impressive enough predecessor could almost go without saying".

Nowadays, Killswitch Engage plays in festivals and prepare their next album for the early months of 2009.
