As Daylight Dies The Eagerly Anticipated Third Album From Killswitch Engage Will Be Released November 21, 2006 On Roadrunner Records
Follow Up To Grammy Nominated, Breakout Album The End Of Heartache And The Gold Certified DVD (Set This) World Ablaze
Grammy Nominated, ground-breaking and genre-defining hard rock band
Killswitch Engage is back in the studio recording
AS DAYLIGHT DIES, the
follow up to the 2004 breakout album, The End of Heartache, and 2005's
GOLD certified DVD, (Set This) World Ablaze. The quintet, who have risen
to the highest echelon of the hard rock genre and have influenced many
bands in the process, will release their third album for Roadrunner, on
November 21, 2006. With The End of Heartache approaching GOLD certification,
the members of Killswitch Engage are currently writing and recording at
Zing Studios in their hometown of Westfield, MA. Guitarist Adam
Dutkiewicz (Underoath, Unearth) is handling production and mixing
duties, as he has on all previous KsE releases. Everyone is excited
about the new material," says bassist Mike D'Antonio. "We went back to
the basics of everyone contributing on this record. We can't wait to get
it out." The band, scheduled to perform at the famed Reading and Leeds
festivals in the UK in August, will hit the road for a string of US
dates this fall.
Killswitch Engage have not merely become standard-be arers
for an entire
generation of bands, with The End of Heartache (released in May 2004),
the standard was trampled and pushed aside. Heavy music was, once again,
re-ignited by a band unafraid to rewrite the rules of the game. Anchored
by the
singles "The End of Heartache" and "Rose of Sharyn," the
album
was called "badass" by Spin Magazine and "stunning" by Rolling Stone,
enabling the band to break down barriers for the hard rock music scene
and appear on national TV shows, such as Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call
with Carson Daly. Building a diehard fan base through incessant touring,
the bands success continues to grow exponentially. They've toured as a
headliner throughout the world and as main support for Slayer.
Additionally, KSE did their second tour of duty on 2005's Ozzfest as the
2nd stage headliners and were on the inaugural Taste of Chaos Tour
alongside My Chemical Romance and The Used. Killswitch Engage features
Howard Jones (vocals), Adam Dutkiewicz (guitar), Joel Stroetzel
(guitar), Mike D'Antonio (bass) and Justin Foley (drums).
