Following the demise of his band Overcast in 1998, bassist
Mike D'Antonio explored the underground Massachusetts
hardcore punk and heavy metal scenes in search of members
for a new band. In 1999, D'Antonio met Adam Dutkiewicz and
Joel Stroetzel, guitarists for Aftershock. Dutkiewicz took
the role of playing drums, while Stroetzel remained on
guitar. The trio searched for a vocalist and eventually
hired Jesse Leach, formerly of Corrin and Nothing Stays
Gold. The now four-member band took the name of "Killswitch
Engage," a name proposed by D'Antonio after watching an
episode of the FOX program The X-Files entitled "Kill
Switch" (the episode's writer, William Gibson, had a chance
meeting with industrial band Kill Switch...Klick).

Review about Killswitch Engage
Lyrics | Reviewer: Vegard
------ About the song This Fire Burns performed by Killswitch Engage
KSE is a great metal band, personally I do analyse the lyrics of most songs I listen to, and there really is some sense in many of their songs. Take for example "Rose Of Sharyn" which is about lost love, and how he wish he could turn back time to be with her. All in all, they make great songs and if you are happy only by listening to the song with no deeper purpose, then that is totally okay ;)

------ About the song The Arms Of Sorrow performed by Killswitch Engage
I leo this song i can't stop listening to it. This is just my opinion but i think this is what the song means :
He is depressed and doesn't show it by faking smiles. He finally decided to jump off a building to run away from all his problems. He's falling into the "arms of sorrow" which is actually the arms of god that will take him away.
i know theres more to it but thats what i think it is in general
its ok ive heard better ALOT better | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The End of Heartache performed by Killswitch Engage

all in all the nly good thing about it is theslow heavy chunky riffs as they are small so they soundreal heavy and the lyrics just suck COCK! you might azwell listen 2 MCR aka my cunt reaks
Yeah.. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Fixation On The Darkness performed by Killswitch Engage
My Last Serenade was awesome indeed. I'm listening to it now. On the other hand, The albums Daylight Dies and End of Heartache seem better to me. It isn't the singing that catches me on either Jesse or Howard's songs, it's the guitar, but I do have to say Howard's weirdly fits.
The best KSE song | Reviewer: David

------ About the song The End of Heartache performed by Killswitch Engage
the kid who got back together with his girlfriend because he sang this song at a school talent contest is probably the most hilarious person ever. surely you must be joking. i laughed out loud for 10 minutes reading that.
if you think these lyrics are good you are an idiot and are obviously not familiar with any kind of poetic expression not written by emo bands. this band is the least metal group of all time. michael buble is more aggressive. celine dion thrashes harder. surfjan stevens is has heavier riffs.
BINGO! | Reviewer: Jed
------ About the song Rose of Sharyn performed by Killswitch Engage
This song is trully beautiful,im a guy who listens to alot of metal,hardcore,punk and emo stuff but this song has one of the best lyrics that i ever heard and read, serious!
the song reminds of those who we lost, trully love and who we miss from a very far distance also that their memory will never leave us.<3<3

KsE rapes everything | Reviewer: davey
------ About the song My Curse performed by Killswitch Engage
This song gives me a raging erection every time a masterbate to it. My curse is truly loving this song too much. I would take a bullet for this song. By the way I am one gothic mother-fucker, and all of us like to circle jerk to the amazing tones of seduction formulated by KsE.
absolutely amazing. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Reject Yourself performed by Killswitch Engage
This band is one of the best heavy metal bands no doubt. i would say one of my favorites. up with bullet. I dunno which one i like more. KSE have moe albums tho... I must say... i am highly amazed by killswitch engage's talent.
Very Meaningful | Reviewer: SiThLoRD
------ About the song My Curse performed by Killswitch Engage
This is the first song I heard for KsE and they failed to dissapoint me which got me to listen to the rest of their songs.. Best band ever and their songs are inspiring like hell.. This song also talks about people that mean to you and are away. AMAZING!!
Classic Track | Reviewer: Cabledd
------ About the song This Is Absolution performed by Killswitch Engage
The lyrics are very much rooted in christian ideals as Jesse Leach (original lead singer) is a devout christian.. check out some of their earlier songs for more hints towards the religious themes. I think they had to carry on in this direction to maintain the identity of KSE. For me, the Jesse Leach era represented the best of KSE... Check out numbered days and vide infra for some amazing, early killswitch stuff..
yeah boy!!!!!! | Reviewer: anly m
------ About the song Holy Diver performed by Killswitch Engage
DIO and killswitch both gave meaning of what the true spirit of metal is all about.It's like a dad and Son relationship...DIO is the daddy and Killswitch is the son...hehehe..It's between classic and modern metal..All you metal people keep supporting the son, kilsswitch and the daddy,Dio..ROCK ON!
Please... | Reviewer: Izzy
------ About the song For You performed by Killswitch Engage
Their lyrics are up for interpretation, but they usually do input their lyrics with a Christian vibe (It's part of what KSE does, their first vocalist started it and it became their trend). Songs such as Rose of Sharyn, this song, and many others, they use religious imagry. Though their lyrics are meant to mean God for them, they say it's up for the reader's interpretation. if you think KSE doesn't use religious imagry, then you don't know KSE.
killswitch is fucking god | Reviewer: mini
------ About the song The End of Heartache performed by Killswitch Engage

Weird | Reviewer: Seth
------ About the song Holy Diver performed by Killswitch Engage
I just figured the lyrics out, and I think I will stop listening to it.
Holy Diver(Navy Person) has been out to long on the Cruiser. Riding the Tiger (The only striped clean thing I know I have is a penis) is weird. Now keep that in mind and listen.
This is why they're my favourite band! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song My Curse performed by Killswitch Engage
