Official Website
Killswitch Engage Wikipedia
Killswitch are a metalcore band that formed in 1999. They play to me a heavy yet melodic type of metal with a mix of cleans and scream vocals. Had a period where they had a couple of average albums in my honest opinion but since these guys got Jesse Leach back they sound refreshed and much heavier. They have just released an album called Disarm The Descent which is the first in almost a decade to feature Jesse Leach after Howard Jones left the band. And I also think they are better with Jesse Leach back because his vocals really bring out their best music and they lacked anything inspiring from their last two albums.

Current members
Jesse Leach – lead vocals (1999–2002, 2012–present)
Adam Dutkiewicz – guitars, backing vocals (2002–present), drums (1999–2002)

Former members
Pete Cortese – guitars (2000–2001)

I like most of the tracks I've heard from these guys and think they do a pretty amazing cover of Holy Diver - I think even the biggest Dio fans would rate it - fantastic vocals from Howard Jones :grinthumb

I liked that cover too. It was one of the few things they did with Jones I liked. They were average on their two previous albums, felt like the band was lacking fire and motive to write like it was going through the motions. They needed Howard to go and Jesse Leach back because he has revived this band immensely. They sound better because they sound heavier in this instance.
