Heading downunder as part of Parkway Drive’s Reverence tour, Massachusetts metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have unveiled two epic and intimate headline shows this October-November!
At the turn of the century KILLSWITCH ENGAGE spawned an entire genre with their earth-shattering debut, ‘Alive or Just Breathing’, earning the esteemed title as the Godfathers of Metalcore.
Built organically from the most potent components of melodic, heavy and catchy-as-hell European death metal and the essence of the most grimy, urgent and forever yearning American hardcore, the brilliantly individual KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have come to define a generational shift equal parts inevitable and by design, as cultural earthquakes and uprisings often are.
“… how metal is supposed to be heard….live and loud, pummelling your eardrums, and sending a rush through your body” – Heavy Mag
Joined by Justice For The Damned (Sydney Only), who back up every statement made with their Greyscale Records debut, 'Dragged Through The Dirt', Hysteria Mag calling it a “dark, abrasive, and supremely volatile listening experience” and Ocean Sleeper (Melbourne Only), hot off recording their debut album in the USA, among building a loyal fan base with their chart topping debut EP ‘Six feet Down’.
For these two epic headline shows you can expect a killer career spanning set from KILLSWITCH ENGAGE complete with chugging riffs, high energy and a hunger to perfect their attack on the movement they created. Having sold out shows on their previous tour, don’t miss your chance to see metalcore giants KILLSWITCH ENGAGE tear up these intimate venues.
“Killswitch Engage have once again warmed cold, black, metal hearts around the country”- Wall Of Sound
Killswitch Engage was awesome yet again! Their concert was better than when they were in Edmonton last year (and that concert was wicked!). I was quite impressed by In Flame's performance as well, I had not heard a lot of their music until the concert and loved it! My only negative comment is that the show was all ages.
Four great bands, Killswitch, In Flames, Protest the Hero, and Between the Buried and Me all delivered top notch performances. It opened with BTBAM whose technical metal style was a blast to watch in action. Next was my personal favorite PTH. They played a mix of both Kezia and Fortress with an excellent performance. In between songs lead singer Rody amused the crowd with the bands unique humor. The whole band was very tight on stage. The only beef I had was that they seemed too quiet. Next was KSE. Guitarist Adam D who is known for his trademark antics, burst onto stage wearing a cape, bandana, and sunglasses. The band played loud and awesome when about after the third song lead singer Howard told the crowd that he had to vomit then disapeared backstage. The rest of the band improvised with a "Cowbell Solo" and a hilarious song about Canada written by Adam D called "Friendly Neighbour to the North". After Howard still wasn't appearing onstage the band decided to go on and play "Rose Of Sharyn" with just the crowd as their vocalist. Amazingly the result was great as the whole crowd seemed to know every word. The band said that they were very impressed and was one of the coolest things they had ever seen and heard. Adam then asked the crowd what song the crowd wanted to sing next. Everyone yelled out "Holy Diver!". Just as the singing part was about to start Howard burst onto the stage and sang the song without missing a beat. They continued to play two more songs when the band decided they had to stop because Howard was so sick. Even though their set was cut short I was very impressed with their show. Last was In Flames (my least favorite but still good), who delivered a show of intensity and high quality performance. The crowd was probably the most insane when they were playing. A very fun night.
I have been to several heavy metal shows, and this was by far one of my favorites!!
This was my first concert at SHAW CONFERENCE CENTER. The venue was very good, the line was long but moved very fast. Plenty of security and medics. Good concession and smoking area. The conert itself was amazing. Never heard of the first band before " BETWEEN THE BURRIED AND ME ", but they were very good. PROTEST THE HERO was good, IN FLAMES was excellent, and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE blew me away. I know all of there music and still i never even expected it to be so good. They didnt even take breaks in between songs, they just kept blasting them out. Awesome tribute to Canada, and great audience participation. Top notch, 5 stars.
Killswitch had an AMAZING set playing a little bit from most of there albums, and hit all of the fan favorites in the process!! SO GOOD Inflames, there show was very similar to every other of there shows, still good but nothing amazing and overly exciting. Killswitch for the Win
This was the second time seeing In Flames and they out did their selfs. the show was awesome. All the bands kicked ass! The speakers could have been setup a bit better but when your that close it doesn't really matter. The only thing I could say was bad about the show was that Killswitch and In Flames could have played longer sets. But overall the concert was AWESOME!
The In Flames and Killswitch Engage concert was terrific. Killswitch performed as they usually do, with a blend of comedy and metal. The best part of the show for me was In Flames though. Last time I saw them I was a little disappointed with their performance but they totally redeemed themselves Monday night.
Show was overall great. In Flames and Killswitch Engage sounded studio perfect! However, the singer of Killswitch was unfortunately sick so their performance was cut short.
The show started off with Between the Buried and Me, who i've never heard before. Very impressive, and a great way to start off the show. Next came Protest the Hero. They did a good job, got the crowd participating in the songs, and kept the good times rolling. Then came In Flames. An amazing show all around on their part. Great sound, awesome lighting, and entertaining to watch. Finally, the show capped off with Killswitch taking the stage. Basically on par with In Flames. All around great, and finished with Holy Diver for the encore. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, worth every penny.
Incredible. The only thing bad i can say is i wish killswitch played a longer set. Protest the Hero sounds identical to their latest album. Overall, epic show.
Concert was Awesome! Favorite set was In Flames! They played a huge set list Lead singer and band had great interaction with the crowd and played a large variety of music from earlier material to latest! Killswitch was also very good did great at entertaining the crowd and had no problems playing an encore song for a very grateful crowd overall one of the best concerts I have been too, great entertainment with tickets that were more than reasonably priced!!!!!
Loved the venue. Never had seen a concert at the Shaw before and I loved it. All the bands were great but Killswitch was obviously the prize winner. Well done to everybody and hope you come back soon.
Well, I have to say that was one of the most fun shows I've had the privilege of going to. The mosh pit was excellant, everyone was happy to party, and I must say that there were a few great cuties, too! Awesome show from the bands including Joel's amazing tribute song to Canada. FUNNY NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH. Definitely checking these guys out the next time they're touring Canada.
The show was awesome! big stage, good sound, good crowd, good venue.
All 4 band were just amazing. in flames were insane.
I have seen them 4 times now and they are amazing every time!
I LOVED this concert. The opening band Between the Buried and Me was THE BEST opening band I have ever heard. They could have headlined. Protest the Hero kind of sucked. The lead singer didn't seem to care to be there. Might have just been an off day for him but I probably wouldn't go to a Protest headliner show because of the disrespect I felt he gave the fans. THEN In Flames and Killswitch brought down the house. The mosh was intense and the bands did a great job on keeping everyone's energy up so that even if you were in the bleachers you were having a GREAT time.
This concert was KICKASS Loved KsE I caught a drumstick ! Hardcore!
I loved the concert. In Flames was amazing. The crowd was just insane. Killswitch was so energized is was just too bad that from where I was the sound was not good. You could barely hear the singer. I kept thinking that the sound guys would fix this because surely they would have know. The sound quality for In Flames was awsome so I thought that it must have just been equipment problems but it was never fixed. All in all though I did enjoy the show.
killswitch and in flames rocked the house, only real regreat was a short playlist.
