Killswitch Engage - Atonement

NEW VINYL LP ON SONY 2019

180 GRAM VINYL.

Killswitch Engage first shook the structure of heavy music upon climbing out of snowy industrialized Western Massachusetts in 2000. A musical outlier, the band pioneered a union of thrashed-out European guitar pyrotechnics, East Coast hardcore spirit, on-stage hijinks, and enlightened lyricism that set the pace for what the turn-of-the-century deemed heavy. 2002's "Alive Or Just Breathing" became avowed as a definitive album, being named among "The Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the Decade" by Decibel and celebrated by everyone from Metal Hammer to Revolver.  2019 represents another turning point for Killswitch Engage. The quintet - Adam Dutkiewicz [guitar, production], Joel Stroetzel [guitar], Mike D'Antonio [bass], Justin Foley [drums], and Jesse Leach [vocals] - sharpens every side of this signature sound on their eighth full-length and first for Metal Blade, "Atonement". The vision the band initially shared two decades ago crystallizes like never before as evidenced by the first single "Unleashed."
