Killswitch Engage is an American metalcore band from Westfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1999 after the disbandment of Overcast and Aftershock. Killswitch Engage's current lineup consists of vocalist Howard Jones, bassist Mike D'Antonio, guitarists Joel Stroetzel and Adam Dutkiewicz, and drummer Justin Foley; the band has released five studio albums and one DVD.
Killswitch Engage rose to fame with its 2004 release The End of Heartache, which peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in December 2007 for over 500,000 shipments in the United States. The title track, "The End of Heartache", was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005, and a live DVD titled (Set This) World Ablaze was released in 2005. Killswitch Engage have performed at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Ozzfest, Download Festival, Rock on the Range, Mayhem Festival, and the Australian Soundwave Festival. MTV has referred to Killswitch Engage as "one of the founders of metalcore".
Killswitch Engage (abreviado Killswitch o KsE) es una banda estadounidense de metalcore melódico fundada en 1998, procedente de Westfield, Massachusetts (Estados Unidos).
Durante el año de 1998, Mike D'Antonio, el bajista fundador, exploraba las escenas metalcore de Massachusetts, en busca de gente para formar una nueva banda. Un año después, en 1999, D'Antonio consiguió su propósito al reunirse con dos antiguos guitarras de la banda local Aftershock, Adam Dutkiewicz y Joel Stroetzel. Mientras que éste último permaneció como guitarrista, Adam pasó a la percusión. Posteriormente se les uniría el vocalista Jesse Leach, de la banda Corrin. El origen del nombre del grupo fue propuesto por D'Antonio, al ver un capítulo de Los Expedientes Secretos X, titulado "Kill Switch".

Killswitch Engage - My Curse (Single) [2006]
Single by Killswitch Engage from the album As Daylight Dies
"My Curse" (sometimes incorrectly referred to as "This Is My Curse") is a song by American metalcore band Killswitch Engage, the song is released as the first single from their fourth album As Daylight Dies. It reached #21 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, surpassing the band's last breakthrough single The End of Heartache, which topped #31, and has been nominated for a Grammy. The music video was directed by Lex Halaby, who has also directed videos for Hoobastank and Mudvayne. My Curse,along with the rest of the album, has been generally praised by criticsbut has received substantial criticism for breaking away from the styleestablished in preceding albums, toning down their previously "harder"sound.
As said above, My Curse 's style is a mix of the raw metalcore sound of Killswitch Engage and melancholic intersections/lyrics.

Studio album by Killswitch Engage
Killswitch Engage is the fifth album by American metalcore band Killswitch Engage, released June 30, 2009 through Roadrunner Records. The album has a rather rare and unusual characteristic: it is the second official release by the group to be self-titled, along with their debut album. A special edition and vinyl record of the album was released on the same day. On the band's official website, if a pre-order for the album was made, the buyer would be entered into a drawing to win a custom Parker P44 guitar with artwork from the album as the paint job.
The album peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200, selling 58,000 copies in its first week of release, making it the band's highest charted album to date. The special edition also features two live versions of bonus tracks from the previous album's special edition, and one from The End Of Heartache.
