Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Second Time Around

Following the release of their landmark 2002 record, Alive or Just Breathing, Massachusetts-based metal stalwarts Killswitch Engage parted ways with original lead singer Jesse Leach. The band enjoyed continued success with a new front man, Howard Jones. But many longtime fans still pined for Leach’s signature vocal style. To the delight of those fans, Leach is back in the fold and KsE are reported to be in vintage metalcore form. Catch the band at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Tuesday, December 18, with Shadows Fall and Acaro.
