"We will face a consequence"
Killswitch Engage is a powerhouse metalcore band from Massachusetts, known for blending crushing guitar riffs, melodic hooks, and emotionally charged lyrics. Formed in the 1990s, they helped define the metalcore genre with landmark albums like Alive or Just Breathing and The End of Heartache. With stunning vocals, brutal breakdowns, and unparalleled energy, Killswitch Engage has become a staple in the heavy metal scene, equal parts heart and hammer. Introducing the band members: Adam Dutkiewicz (guitar), Joel Stroetzel (guitar), Mike D’Antonio (bass), Justin Foley (drums), and Jesse Leach (vocals).
Now Calgary is being blessed by hosting one of their performances at the Grey Eagle Casino. Fans will have a chance to hear metal as metal was meant to be heard, live, loud, a beating on their eardrums and a rush of energy through the body that follows. It’s more than just a concert, it’s a cathartic experience, a communal scream into the void with riffs to match. “To me, this record is about the consequences of our actions as humans as we engage in war, hatred, division, and falling in line with control. History repeats itself. We’re going to have to answer for our actions-whether it’s how we treat the earth or each other. There will be an uprising and a backlash from nature. Cause-and-effect is a driving theme. We will face a consequence.” – Jesse Leach’s statement on their newest record.
A powerful message from a powerful vocalist. Be ready to feel the power March 22nd here in Calgary as the band steps up to perform again following their newest release. Prepare for a night where emotion, aggression, and musical mastery collide. This isn’t just a show, it’s a reckoning.
