2009 is poised to be another huge year for Massachusetts' own Killswitch Engage. They are currently in the studio with noted producer Brendan O'Brien, working on the follow up to their previous two Gold-selling albums, The End Of Heartache and As Daylight Dies. The band, who appeared on the cover of Revolver's 2009 Preview issue and were praised as having one of the 'Most Anticipated Albums' of 2009 by both Alternative Press and Decibel, have proven to be a force to be reckoned with in recent years, having co-headlined the Ozzfest side stage, The Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos.

No shortcuts. No compromises. No BS. From their modest beginnings in New England's hardcore scene to their current status as one of the most influential and inspirational forces in modern music, Killswitch Engage have played by these three simple rules. With their new, fourth album, As Daylight Dies, KsE are proving that if you keep playing the game your way, you'll eventually change the rules for everyone else. We never consciously went out of our way to be different,guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz says from the band's home base in Westfield, Massachusetts. When we started this band, we just wanted to play cool riffs and scream and sing. We liked many different sounds so we tried to incorporate all these rock and pop styles while keeping a good, solid metal mentality. Eleven songs strong, As Daylight Dies isn't just a testament to the band's original vision; it's also their strongest fusion of aggression, melody, rock and metal to date.

The title track of The End Of Heartache is an unabashed monster of a song, different than anything the band has ever written. Its epic drive nearly crosses the border into power-ballad territory. "Rose of Sharyn" is an anthem that's heavy in the most non-traditional of senses, building with dynamic energy into a crescendo with a chorus that is perhaps The End of Heartache's biggest reward. "When Darkness Falls," heard during the closing credits of "Freddy Vs. Jason," was the first song Jones ever wrote with the band and falls right into place on The End Of Heartache. With "Breathe Life" he delivers a heartfelt optimism that really makes the track ‘pop’ with, "breathe life/ for you are not alone/ breathe life/ inside your heart of stone."

Since the release of their sophomore effort for Roadrunner Records, The End Of Heartache, in May of 2004, Killswitch Engage has exploded into the mainstream - selling over 375,000 copies of that album, landing the lead single to the film Resident Evil: Apocalypse, headlining two highly successful US tours and co-headlining both the inaugural Taste of Chaos Tour and Ozzfest. With all of that time spent on the road, Killswitch Engage has honed its chops and become a live force to be reckoned with. The band lays it all on the line with (Set This) World Ablaze, which was filmed at the sold-out Worcester Palladium in July of 2005. Capturing the power and the passion of this five-piece, (Set This) World Ablaze catches Killswitch Engage draining every ounce of energy out of the 3000+ capacity crowd and leaves them all begging for more. Includes over 75 minutes of live footage, all of the band's videos, on the road & behind the scenes footage, extensive interviews with the band and interviews with other bands from Ozzfest 2005
