Massachusetts metalcore band Killswitch Engage release their second self-titled album - yes, second self-titled album. Critics often refer to the new album as Killswitch Engage II to avoid confusion with the band's 2000 release. The album was produced by Brendan O'Brien (AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine) and co-produced by guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz.
Killswitch Engage will spend the summer touring on the main stage at the second annual Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest alongside Bullet For My Valentine, Slayer, and Marilyn Manson.
Western New Yorkers can catch Killswitch Engage when they play the Agri-center @ The Fairgrounds in Hamburg on July 30 with Rise Against, Rancid, Billy Talent, All That Remains and Whitechapel.
