Killswitch Engage Announce Fourth Album
New York, NY: Killswitch Engage, the most prolific of the burgeoning
Massachusetts metal scene’s exports, are proud to announce the recording
of their as-yet untitled fourth album for Roadrunner Records. The album
will follow 2006’s As Daylight Dies, which is approaching Gold-status.
2004’s The End of Heartache has achieved Gold certification. The fourth
album is quite an anticipated event in the hard rock and metal scene and
beyond, as evidenced by the fact that the band will appear on cover of
Revolver Magazine’s 2009 Music Preview issue, on stands December 23.
Additionally, the forthcoming album was selected as one of Alternative
Press’ Most Anticipated releases of 2009.
For the first time in their career, the band will work with an outside
producer and have chosen Brendan O’Brien (AC/DC, Rage Against the
Machine, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots, to name a few) to man the
boards. KsE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, a noted producer in his own right
who has recorded all of the band’s previous albums, will be taking a
co-producer role on this record alongside O’Brien.
The band will record in both Georgia and their native Western
Massachusetts. Roadrunner expects to release the record in Spring 2009.
Killswitch Engage will spend the winter recording the album and will hit
the road in the Spring for a major pre-release tour. Look for more
details on that in the near future.
