Friday, July 23: Killswitch Engage, “Vide Infra”

“Vide Infra” was one of two tracks Killswitch Engage re-recorded for Alive or Just Breathing, and as such provided a bridge between their self-titled debut (which was actually just a demo that Ferret opted to release as a proper album) and the more polished and melodic second album.  To that end, the track greatly benefited from Adam Dutkiewicz’s greatly improved production and Andy Sneap’s crisp mix: what came off as tentative metalcore on Killswitch Engage roared to life on the Roadrunner debut, essentially defining the subgenre in sound, approach and ethos.  Jesse Leach didn’t flex vocally like he would on other Alive or Just Breathing tracks, but his shouting was precise and confident, and his enunciation made clear that his lyrics were far from boilerplate.  There was such a strong sense of purpose coming from all corners, from the writing to the performance to the production, that “Vide Infra” was simply undeniable- this was an unstoppable number that heralded KsE as a major force in metal that both respected tradition while also carving a new path.

Back, and better than ever.

Hello everyone, it’s the admin for this Killswitch Engage blog, Amanda!

I know that I have been gone for a long time and for that I would like to deeply apologize. For the last year or so I have been doing so much soul searching..from trying to figure out a career path for myself as well as fighting an ongoing tug of war with depression.

That being said, I will try my best to make a good comeback on this blog and update it more often. If my budget also allows it, I may start doing giveaways again soon.

Thank you to everyone who still follows this blog! I really appreciate you guys for sticking around. 

I’M BACK!!!!!

PS: Thank you for 2000 followers ♥

Monster’s Mosh Halloween 2014 💀🎃

[protoslacker]

For most of his life Pence had believed he was guided by God’s plan. He believed that the Lord intended for him to halt the erosion of religious conviction in the United States. And though he avoided stating it himself, many of his evangelical friends believed Pence’s ultimate purpose was to establish a government based on biblical law. That was what they called Christian Dominionism.

Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive Headline Terminal 5 Tomorrow Night

Metal acts Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive will obliterate eardrums when they come to New York City on their joint Collapse the World Tour. Parkway Drive will be touring in support of their latest album, Reverence (stream it here), out last May on Epitaph Records. With six full-length albums under their belt and more than 15 years of music, the Australian five-piece has won the hearts of fans across the world with their heavy breakdowns, guttural anthems and sheer power onstage. “This coheadlining tour with Killswitch Engage is a landmark for Parkway Drive in North America,” said frontman Winston McCall in a tour statement. “Having smashed our way across the land for over a decade now, it is a humbling and defining moment to be sharing this slot with true heavy metal icons and personal heroes.”

Massachusetts metalcore outfit Killswitch Engage have put out seven studio long-players over the course of 20 years but the guys in the band have been friends for much longer than that. The quintet signed with Metal Blade Records and will potentially have new material this year. No release date has been set, but the band’s social media posts have revealed that they are tracking almost two dozen songs and will eventually sort those down for a forthcoming album. “After having the pleasure of destroying stages all over Australia with the Parkway guys just over a month ago, we couldn’t be more stoked to share the stage with them once again, this time in the States,” vocalist Jesse Leach said in the tour statement. Catch Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive on Thursday night at Terminal 5. —Elizabeth Ramanand | @Lizochka

From the August 28, 2018 article:

"We see Donald Trump in this huge crisis, this rolling chaos," D'Antonio said. "And I think, with every day, Mike Pence imagines he's one day closer to the Oval Office."

When asked by CNN host John Berman if he believes the vice president is “maneuvering to get the top job” at the expense of Trump, D'Antonio also replied: "Oh, I think yes."

"I think he's positioning himself to be the normal guy — the guy you can trust,” D'Antonio continued, adding that though the vice president has been seen in recent weeks around the country promoting the president’s agenda, Pence is “really promoting the development of his own network.”

Monday, January 18: Killswitch Engage, “I Feel Alive Again”

“I Feel Alive Again” was the closest Killswitch Engage came to recalling Adam D.’s and Jesse Leach’s one-off side project Times of Grace, which likely explained why it was kept aside and ultimately released as part of the Atonement II B-Sides for Charity EP.  As it was, the track generally fit within the context of Atonement, but the Dutkiewicz-sung interlude as well as the general dynamics within the song also felt like a follow-up to Hymn of a Broken Man. This wasn’t a bad spot for KsE to be in, as it slightly nudged towards some kind of evolution for the band.  Of course, that said evolution borrowed from an album two of its members made 9 years earlier indicated that Killswitch was still not totally sure where they wanted to go, but at least “I Feel Alive Again” didn’t feel like a complete retread from what had come before.

Scripted Horror Anthology BLEEDERS DIEGEST Launches on Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network

From your speakers straight into your psyche, Bleeders DIEgest has launched on the Bloody Disgusting podcast network. The scripted horror anthology is created and written by Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One, filmmaker Krsy Fox, and The Boo Crew podcast hosts Trevor and Lauren Shand.

Ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, each episode tells a new, original story of dark fiction complete with immersive audio production. Select tales feature guest stars such as Bonnie Aarons (The Nun), Adam Busch (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), and Ice Nine Kills vocalist Spencer Charnas.

From sinister voices in the darkness to malevolent forces lurking at home, the first two episodes are available on all major podcast providers courtesy of Acast. New episodes will debut weekly every Thursday.

"Ever since I was a little kid, I was transfixed by horror and science fiction," explains Spider One. "Endless hours of my youth were spent watching Creature Double Feature and scouring the aisles of my local video store for the goriest of cover art. It’s a dream come true to be able to now partner with Bloody Disgusting and share my own brand of scary with an audience."

"We're so excited to share the darkest parts of our minds with an audience we know will truly appreciate it," adds Krsy Fox. "Making terrifying original short stories into such a theatrical and interactive show has been a dream come true. The stories of Bleeders DIEgest are already giving me nightmares, and I hope it does the same for all of you!"

"There is something so magical about crafting characters and their worlds that don't exist painted with words," Lauren Shand notes. "Being able to do this in the horror space with Bloody Disgusting is so incredibly cool."

"The 'theater of the mind' is something I retreated to so often as a kid with old-school radio dramas and tales of horror that emanated from the small speaker I’d stash under my pillow at night," reminisces Trevor Shand. "To be able to play in that world with the support of this small group of friends and our Bloody Disgusting family is a nightmare come true. Our goal is that these stories might live in yours."

"We're so excited to grow the Bloody Disgusting podcast network with the addition of Bleeders DIEgest," Bloody Disgusting co-founder Tom Owen comments. "These stories are truly terrifying, and the intimate format of podcasting is the perfect platform to deliver them straight into the listener's ear. I can't wait for everyone to hear what Spider, Krsy, Trevor, and Lauren have created."

We dare you to listen to Bleeders DIEgest on your favorite podcast provider: bleedersdiegest.carrd.co
