An American musician, recording engineer and music producer, best known as a guitarist and backup vocalist from Massachusetts metalcore band Killswitch Engage.
On August 6, 2021, three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights and platinum-selling band Killswitch Engage unleashed a streaming event that took fans by storm. The event took place at The Palladium in Worcester in the band's native Massachusetts, which has been the site of many iconic KsE shows throughout the band's history. The performance setlist consists of 2019's Atonement in full, along with their 2000-released, self-titled debut album in full - with some fun and unexpected surprises along the way! This special event was directed by David Brodsky and Allison Woest for MyGoodEye.
"Atonement / Self-Titled: Vaccinated + Intoxicated" will take place at The Palladium in Worcester in the band's native Massachusetts, which has been the site of many memorable and iconic KILLSWITCH ENGAGE shows throughout the band's two-decade history. The event was directed by David Brodsky and Allison Woest for MyGoodEye. "I am pleased we were able to finally pull this together," says singer Jesse Leach. "I hope everyone who watches enjoys this as much as we did making it. Aside from the music, the laughter and funny moments were an equal part of the experience. The whole package really feels like a KILLSWITCH experience and we're stoked for everyone to see and hear it."
Filmed live at The Space in Las Vegas, NV on August 13, 2019. This is the first time "The Signal Fire" and "The Crownless King" were ever performed live.
"At the heart of this release is a 75-minute documentary that chronicles the return of original vocalist Jesse Leach, after nearly a decade of being apart, to the band he helped form back in 1999. The piece also takes a close look at the KILLSWITCH ENGAGE early years that eventually led to Leach's initial departure. Produced and directed by KILLSWITCH ENGAGE storyteller Denise Korycki, this documentary picks up right where their 2005 "(Set This) World Ablaze" release left off, revealing the untold rest of the KILLSWITCH ENGAGE story."
