Editor's note

Killswitch Engage, the Massachusetts metalcore band

A band that blends heavy riffs with melodic vocals, from Westfield to their 2019 album Atonement.

For a good sense of their sound, try "Rose of Sharyn" or "Numbered Days." They're both from that early 2000s period when the lineup was shifting.

They've been called a metalcore band, which some listeners see as a mix of heavy metal and hardcore punk. Songs like "Rose of Sharyn" and "Numbered Days" show their approach to blending heavy riffs with melodic vocals. The group has kept making music without worrying too much about genre labels.

Killswitch Engage formed in Westfield, Massachusetts. Their debut album came out in 2000. In 2002, vocalist Jesse Leach left the band and was replaced by Howard Jones, who brought a different energy to their live shows.
