ABOUT KILLSWITCH ENGAGE:
Formed in 1999 out of western Massachusetts, Killswitch Engage are often
credited as one of the most influential metal acts in the last 20 years. Twice
Grammy-nominated, they’ve sold over 3 million records worldwide, with The
End of Heartache and As Daylight Dies both certified
Gold in the U.S. The band has enjoyed multiple Top 10-charting albums, with
2016’s Incarnate landing at #6 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on
the Current Rock Albums chart, and debuting at #1 overall in Canada, #5 in
Australia, and #10 in both the UK and Germany, a testament to the band’s
international reach.
As co-founders of Killswitch Engage, guitarist/backing vocalist Adam Dutkiewicz, guitarist Joel Stroetzel, bassist Mike D’Antonio, and lead vocalist Jesse Leach (who returned four years ago after a decade-long absence) together with longtime drummer Justin Foley continue to make trend-resistant, timeless heavy music that feeds the soul, touches the heart, and strengthens the mind. Spending much of their career on the road, Killswitch Engage have enjoyed premium slots on major U.S. tours, including OzzFest, Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos, Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest, Music As a Weapon, and Trespass America, as well as countless international festivals around the globe. Having shared the stage with acts ranging from Rise Against to Slayer, the diversity and versatility of their touring is unparalleled.
Their songs have been featured on Guitar Hero III, Rock Band, John Madden, the Resident Evil III soundtrack, and as entrance music for WWE wrestling champ CM Punk. The band’s compelling history can be seen in their latest release, Beyond the Flames: Home Video Vol II, a treasure trove of gripping content, containing 3.5 hours of footage, including a 75-minute documentary that chronicles the return of original vocalist Leach after nearly a decade away from the band he helped form, as well as tons of live footage from around the globe. The band recently announced its signing to Metal Blade Records, with a new album planned for Fall 2019.
ABOUT CLUTCH:
Maryland rockers Clutch have been pushing the boundaries that define heavy rock music since the four original members got together in high school. Having been tagged hard rock, blues rock, southern stoner rock, and alternative metal by press and fans across the world alike it is safe to say one thing… “What you see is what you get,” and what you get is a musical force that has been best described as the quintessential American Rock Band.
Book of Bad Decisions, Clutch’s twelfth studio album was released on September 7, 2018 via their own Weathermaker Music label. Book of Bad Decisions debuted at #1 on several charts around the world including the US Billboard Hard Rock chart. The album was recorded at Sputnik Sound in Nashville, TN by producer Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather) and consists of 15 new tracks.
It would be easy to suggest that legendary Maryland rockers Clutch have made their finest record to date. This may even be true. You see, the thing about Clutch is that ever since their 1993 debut Transnational Speedway League they’ve been in the business of writing stone cold classics, and even the most rabid fan would have trouble picking just one. Book of Bad Decisions won’t make that task any easier. Rest assured, it’s another classic.
Clutch is: Neil Fallon — Vocals/Guitar, Tim Sult — Guitar, Dan Maines — Bass, Jean-Paul Gaster — Drums/Percussion.
