KILLSWITCH ENGAGE ON TOUR:
WITH MACHINE HEAD, IRON REAGAN, + HAVOK:
KsE’s latest albumĀ THIS CONSEQUENCEĀ is out nowĀ viaĀ Metal Blade. GetĀ itĀ here. The album arrived alongside a hugely successful Winter/Spring 2025Ā tour, yielded a Top 5Ā single with “I Believe,” which peaked at No. 3, andĀ landed the band onĀ the covers ofĀ RevolverĀ andĀ Outburn. Ā The album was another reminder of why KsE, who have earned several gold and platinum certificationsĀ alongside three Grammy nominations, remain one of the most enduring bands of the modern metal scene.
Killswitch EngageĀ first shook the structure of heavy music upon climbing out of snowy industrialized Western Massachusetts in 2000. A musical outlier, the band pioneered a union of thrashed-out European guitar pyrotechnics, East Coast hardcore spirit, onstage hijinks, and enlightened lyricism that set the pace for what the turn-of-the-century deemed heavy.
2002’sĀ Alive Or Just BreathingĀ became avowed as a definitive album, being named among “The Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the Decade” byĀ DecibelĀ and celebrated by everyone fromĀ Metal HammerĀ toĀ Revolver.Ā Not only did they bust open the floodgates for dozens to follow, but they also garnered three GRAMMYĀ® Award nominations in the category of “Best Metal Performance”Ā in 2005, 2014, and 2019, respectively, a gold certification forĀ The End of HeartacheĀ [2004], and a platinum certification forĀ As Daylight DiesĀ [2006].
The group landed three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 withĀ Killswitch EngageĀ [2009],Ā Disarm The DescentĀ [2013], and their career high best bow at #6 withĀ Incarnate [2016]. The latter two releases, along with 2019’sĀ Atonement,Ā would also both capture #1 on the Top Rock Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts.
The band’s total streams are nearing 3 billion to date, while they’ve remained consummate road warriors who’ve sold out countless headline tours and have shared stages with everyone from Iron Maiden to Slipknot to Slayer to My Chemical Romance to Mastodon to Parkway Drive, which is a testament to their ability to cross genres and appeal to all fans of hard rock.Ā KsE have remained a featured attraction at every major North American and European festival through the years.
The band is celebrating an astonishing, 25-year career as one of the most vital and genre-defining bands of the ’00s and continues its incredible legacy.
