More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Hit-Boy, Twin Tribes, and Benji Madden and M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
Over the last couple of decades, Killswitch Engage have been at the top of metalcore. The New England group became genre leaders in the 2000s, making an early mark with 2002’s Alive or Just Breathing and 2004’s The End of Heartache. Through lineup shifts, Grammy nominations, and Guitar Hero appearances, they’ve remained active, releasing their ninth studio album, This Consequence, in February. Before heading out on a European tour, the powerhouse vocalist sat down with Madden to talk about the band’s legacy, his personal journey through music, and the passion that continues to fuel heavy music today.
