Killswitch Engage Announce New Album Details
Killswitch Engage have announced the recording of their as-yet-untitled fourth album for Roadrunner Records. The album will follow 2006's As Daylight Dies, which is approaching Gold status. 2004's The End of Heartache has achieved Gold certification. Killswitch Engage will appear on cover of Revolver magazine's 2009 Music Preview issue, on stands December 23. Additionally, the forthcoming album was selected as one of Alternative Press' Most Anticipated releases of 2009.
For the first time in their career, the band will work with an outside producer and have chosen Brendan O'Brien (AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots, to name a few) to man the boards. KSE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, a noted producer in his own right who has recorded all of the band's previous albums, will be taking a co-producer role on this record alongside O'Brien.
The band will record in both Georgia and their native Western Massachusetts. Roadrunner expects to release the record in Spring 2009.
Killswitch Engage will spend the winter recording the album and will hit the road in the spring for a major pre-release tour. Look for more details on that in the near future.
