Metalcore band Killswitch Engage released their fifth full-length album on June 30. The new record entitled "Killswitch Engage," takes a step away from the fast and heavy sound heard in their 2006 release "As Daylight Dies" and moves towards a more melodic metalcore feel, somewhat reminiscent of songs such as "My Curse" and "The End of Heartache." The new album features 11 new tracks and also comes in a special edition version that contains five extra songs. The first official single is the second track of the album, "Starting Over." A video for the song has already been shot and released for circulation. "Starting Over" was a good choice because it encompasses the overall sound of the new record and gives cautious buyers a good taste of what is in store for them. With each release from their 2004 debut album with a new front man to their much anticipated 2009 release, Killswitchs growth is very apparent. They are a band that is open to trying new things and refuses to stay frozen in the same exact sound that got them big. Killswitch is currently touring alongside Marilyn Manson and Slayer on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. To pick up a copy of the new album and see when they will be playing again click here.
