Killswitch Engage - Atonement - CD

Killswitch Engage, formed in 1999 in Western Massachusetts, pioneered a blend of European guitar pyrotechnics, East Coast hardcore, and enlightened lyricism, shaping modern heavy music. Their 2002 album 'Alive Or Just Breathing' became a landmark in metal, earning widespread acclaim. Over the years, the band received two GRAMMY nominations and achieved gold certifications for 'The End of Heartache' (2004) and 'As Daylight Dies' (2006).

In 2019, the band—Adam Dutkiewicz, Joel Stroetzel, Mike D'Antonio, Justin Foley, and Jesse Leach—released their eighth album, 'Atonement', marking a new chapter. Despite challenges, including Jesse’s throat surgery, the album showcases their signature sound, blending heavy riffs, melody, and emotional intensity. 'Atonement' was recorded across multiple locations, with Adam handling production. The record reflects the band's resilience and commitment to evolving their sound.
