I was a massive fan when Howard was fronting Killswitch. It is dope to hear Jesse do so many songs that aren’t ‘his’ and give it everything, in the same way Howard did when he was fronting. I think I am going to start listening to them again. New stuff and old.

To each and every one of you who are not moving and have their phone out.... fuck off. The way we show the band appreciation is not by the price we pay for the ticket but the energy we give back. Ugh I feel old . Maybe you’re standing still purely to take it all in , but I doubt it.... it’s because there’s no interest anymore. The world is yours This music is mine!

When people write for August BR, Parkway Drive, AILD etc. "best metalcore band of all time".....i don't think they trully think it trought. The one and only. The legit true titans of metalcore. Killswitch EFFING Engage. They opened the door for everyone else, every song sounds unique and different and they have some of the best musicians in entire metal music. They don't rely on ultra speed to make their songs heavy and energetic. And their power ballads are out of this world.
