KILLSWITCH ENGAGE: New Album Artwork Unveiled

April 14, 2009

Massachusetts metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have unveiled the cover artwork (see below) for their new album, due on June 23 via Roadrunner Records. The CD will follow 2006's "As Daylight Dies", which is approaching gold status in the United States (signifying 500,000 copies shipped).

For the first time in its career, the band worked with an outside producer — Brendan O'Brien, who has previously helmed recordings for AC/DC, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, PEARL JAM and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, to name a few. KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, a noted producer in his own right who has recorded all of the band's previous albums, took a co-producer role on this record alongside O'Brien.

More information on the upcoming CD will be made available soon at RoadrunnerRecords.com.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE is confirmed for this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival trek, which will be headlined by SLAYER and MARILYN MANSON.

Metal Mark of SkullsNBones.com conducted an interview with guitarist Joel Stroetzel of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE prior to the band's April 8, 2009 concert in Atlanta, Georgia during the Music As A Weapon IV tour with DISTURBED, LACUNA COIL and CHIMAIRA. Watch the six-minute chat below.
