About Killswitch Engage
Killswitch Engage is an American metalcore (really heavy metal with screamo) band from Westfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1999 after the disbanding of Overcast and Aftershock. Killswitch Engage's current lineup consists of vocalist Jesse Leach, guitarists Joel Stroetzel and Adam Dutkiewicz, bassist Mike D'Antonio, and drummer Justin Foley.
Rose of Sharyn in a nutshell!
"Killswitch Engage is one of metal bands I got into years ago, before I was even into metal. Anthemic choruses, mixture of clean and unclean vocals, lyrics I didn’t think too much about but I guess it all kind of added to the vibe. Since becoming a metalhead a couple of years ago, I revisited those tunes that hooked me; Arms Of Sorrow, My Curse, The End of Heartache etc. bringing back those memories. When I began following the indie rock/metal scene a couple of years ago as you may know, Woolpack Live became one of my regular spots."

"Last night reminded me of the first time I went to The Woolpack and when my music taste was at a crossroads. Two different eras colliding, probably the biggest hit of nostalgia ever. What a night. Hearing those tunes live by a tribute band on a par with the real thing really brings it to life. On a high I still haven’t come down from."
