KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Guitarist DUTKIEWICZ Forced To Miss TASTE OF CHAOS Overseas Tour

October 18, 2005

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have posted the following message on their official web site:

"As some of you may know, Adam [Dutkiewicz, guitar] has had a recurring back problem that has bothered him on the last few tours. It has now become apparent that Adam will need back surgery. As a result, the rest of the guys have decided that Adam should not do the upcoming Taste of Chaos international tour and risk further back problems. They will perform as a four-piece and have one of their roadies help out on second guitar for one of the songs. Adam fully intends to be back on track for any future touring. Thanks for understanding."

As previously reported, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE drummer Justin Foley will be chatting away as Pro-Mark Drumsticks' online chat guest on Tuesday, October 18 at 7:00 p.m. PST/10:00 p.m. EST. More information is available at www.promark.com.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's forthcoming "(Set This) World Ablaze" DVD will hit stores November 22 via Roadrunner. The disc will feature live footage captured by director Lex Halaby (MUDVAYNE, CHIMAIRA) during the band's July 25 gig at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts. Photos from the DVD shoot can be found at HeavyMetalSource.com. Special guests at the show included AS I LAY DYING and ONCE BELOVED.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE were part of the second-stage lineup at this year's Ozzfest supporting their sophomore Roadrunner Records release, "The End of Heartache", which has sold close to 375,000 copies in the United States. On March 1, the album was re-released as a special two-disc version with six new/live tracks.
