Discografia: Killswitch Engage

Killswitch Engage is an American metalcore band from Westfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1999 after the disbandment of Overcast and Aftershock.

Killswitch Engage have performed at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Ozzfest, Download Festival, Rock on the Range, Mayhem Festival, and the Australian Soundwave Festival. MTV has referred to Killswitch Engage as "one of the founders of metalcore".

Killswitch Engage (abreviado Killswitch o KsE) es una banda estadounidense de metalcore melódico fundada en 1998, procedente de Westfield, Massachusetts (Estados Unidos).

Durante el año de 1998, Mike D'Antonio, el bajista fundador, exploraba las escenas metalcore de Massachusetts, en busca de gente para formar una nueva banda. Un año después, en 1999, D'Antonio consiguió su propósito al reunirse con dos antiguos guitarras de la banda local Aftershock, Adam Dutkiewicz y Joel Stroetzel. Mientras que éste último permaneció como guitarrista, Adam pasó a la percusión. Posteriormente se les uniría el vocalista Jesse Leach, de la banda Corrin. El origen del nombre del grupo fue propuesto por D'Antonio, al ver un capítulo de Los Expedientes Secretos X, titulado "Kill Switch".
