Killswitch Engage

Killswitch Engage mixes a bit of metalcore with some Swedish melodic death metal influencs, much like fellow Massachusetts bands such as Beyond The Sixth Seal and Shadows Fall. Their lineup has remained largely intact save for vocalist switching (Jesse Leach for a time, then Howard Jones for three albums, now back to Leach), and remain one of the more successful metalcore bands in the new millennium.

Recent album: This Consequence, released on February 21, 2025.
