KILLSWITCH ENGAGE: More Performance Footage With JESSE LEACH Posted Online

April 12, 2010

Massachusetts-based metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have posted video footage from their two shows in New York City in March. The band played Irving Plaza with original KILLSWITCH ENGAGE vocalist Jesse Leach on vocals for half the set.

In the first video, Joel Stroetzel (guitar),Mike D'Antonio (bass) and Adam Dutkiewicz (guitar) perform "Prelude" during sound check. The second video has the band playing "Fixation on The Darkness" with Jesse Leach on vocals.

In February, it was announced that KILLSWITCH ENGAGE vocalist Howard Jones had to unexpectedly leave the band's recent headlining tour, leading to a flurry of rumors and questions about the status of the trek and the band. The group subsequently issued a statement addressing the matter, saying, "It became overwhelmingly obvious to all of us around Howard that he is in no condition to be on tour right now and that he needed to get off the road and get himself better. It's a personal matter and while we understand everyone's curiosity and concern for Howard and the band, we appreciate everyone respecting Howard's privacy at this time." Longtime friend Phil Labonte of ALL THAT REMAINS was able to fill in and help out the band for the remainder of the tour, which wrapped on March 21.
