It was about four songs into Killswitch Engage’s performance that the flood rain started coming in and the band’s performance was cut short. The festival evacuation proceeded and metal fans shed a little tear in the rain knowing they had to leave a great band behind on stage.
In those four songs KSE still delivered. Whether it’s Adam drinking a beer while playing or Jesse screaming his head off, they always make sure fans get what they expect and then some.
What I love about watching Killswitch Engage live is that it’s how music and a live show should be: fun. You have a good time while watching this band play. It’s not an overly dramatic presentation or 20 minutes of a band member talking about current issues to stay topical and relevant (some bands are great for that but some really force it). KSE wants to play. That’s what takes priority.
The good news is that KSE is going on tour with Parkway Drive. Check out that tour if it comes remotely close to where you live. You can find the band’s upcoming tour dates on their Facebook page here: Killswitch Engage on Facebook.
