KILLSWITCH ENGAGE to Re-Broadcast Livestream For Fans

Three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, recognized by Forbes as “one of modern metal’s most cherished acts,” have a lot going into the new year.

Many fans recall the band’s powerful streaming event performance, which originally aired last summer from The Palladium in Worcester, MA, home to so many memorable and iconic KsE shows throughout the band’s two-decade history. Directed by David Brodsky and Allison Woest for MyGoodEye, the performance found KsE performing 2019’s Atonement in full, along with the 2000-released self-titled album in full – with some surprises along the way.

The band will be rebroadcasting the Live At The Palladium streaming event on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 7pm ET, with continued on-demand viewing access through Sunday, January 16 – this time with all band members live-chatting with fans in real time during the performance stream.

Fans who previously purchased access to the streaming event will be able to re-watch it for free. Additionally, all ticket holders for the North American Atonement Tour 2022 will be able to view the stream for free, as long as tickets are purchased by January 10, 2022. For all others, streaming event tickets will be available separately for $12. New merch and VIP bundles will be available as well.

Get tickets here.

Also, be on the lookout for an eventual CD/Blu-ray and vinyl release of the livestream in 2022 via Metal Blade Records.

In other KsE news, the band has earned another impressive accolade. Their fourth album, As Daylight Dies, released by Roadrunner Records on November 21, 2006, has been certified platinum by the RIAA. The record produced fan favorites such as “My Curse” and “The Arms of Sorrow.” The band also received a platinum certification for the aforementioned single “My Curse,” as well as gold certifications for 2004’s The End of Heartache and the Set This World Ablaze DVD. The single “The End of Heartache” and their cover of “Holy Diver” are also certified gold.

Lastly, the Atonement Tour will be back on the road at clubs and theaters across the U.S. and into Canada. The trek kicks off January 28 in Pittsburgh and runs through March 12 in Philadelphia. Tickets are on sale here and dates are below. The Atonement Tour makes its return with the same powerful lineup, which includes Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s August Burns Red as main support and Light the Torch as the opening act. As fans are more than well aware, LTT frontman Howard Jones served as KsE‘s singer from 2002 through 2012.

Ex- ICED EARTH Singers Matt Barlow & Tim Ripper Owens Together First Time on Interview Talking ASHES OF ARES Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on December 14, 2021
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: The Metal Voice. Leave a comment

Canada’ The Metal Voice recently spoke to both Matt Barlow and Tim Ripper Owens (Ex Iced Earth) about the new upcoming album from Ashes of Ares entitled  ‘Emperors and Fools’ via Rock Of Angels Records on January 21 2022. Tim Ripper Owens  joins Barlow on the last track off the album called ‘ Monster’s Lament’. Both singers have never done an interview together up until now or on an album together.

When asked Matt Barlow what he did differently music wise on this new album vs the last Ashes of Ares album?
“The only thing I can say is the outcome of this record is a little thrasher a little bit more an ode to the stuff that I started cutting my teeth on in the 80’s and probably the same with Freddie  Vidales (guitarist). Freddie has a diverse influence as well as everybody in metal and is influenced to some degree by Maiden. For me the Bay Area stuff was huge for me in the 80’s it was just hitting hard. Metallica just blew the roof off of it, it was just a giant flood. Testament, you got Death Angel, Forbidden on and on and on, some many thrashy bands. It was a really big influence for me when I was doing my first original band with my brother in Cauldron.  We were very much influenced by the thrash aspect of it and a little bit of Pantera that kind of thing. So this record for me has a lot more of a feel of that thrashy Bay Area sound. I don’t know if Freddie would agree with me exactly but I think that it’s there I think people will definitely hear it. We really weren’t going for a polished sound either, we were just trying to make it pretty raw . Obviously I am still doing some layered vocals on the album but I hope people like it.” 

Matt tell us about Ripper Owens Contribution to the Track on the album called ‘Monster’s Lament’
“We were bouncing the idea of Tim working with us on the last record on this song, so this song is basically a hold over from the last record.  This was Freddie’s creation. He composed it, he wrote the lyrics for it, I did the vocal melodies then took my idea to Tim and he rocked it out, he put his Ripper signature on it. I think fans are going to dig it , it’s me and Tim doing what we do and highlighting what we highlight in our voices. I think the song lent itself to being a really cool dark story. If I am playing a character this is probably the biggest A hole character I played in a song. “

Tim tell us about working with Matt on this song?
“We have been friends forever and always talked about it and Freddie reached out to me to do it and it was a no brainer, I didn’t even have to listen to it I knew it was going to rock. Our voices go so good together, they are different yet we do the same thing. I would love to do more with Matt as well. It is so much fun. It was such a great song to do and I look forward to doing other songs. I would describe this song as a journey, it takes you in, it’s like watching a movie except listening to it. The song has a lot to it just brings you in, it is really something great”

When the two were asked if they would ever consider doing a show together
“I think that would be an amazing thing, that would be fun, we don’t live all that far from each other but it’s hard with schedules but I think that would be a blast, it would be awesome. “Ripper

Dan Lorenzo/Johnny Kelly Project PATRIARCHS IN BLACK Sign with MDD Records

When New Jersey metal icon Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non Fiction, among others) and Type O Negative + ex-Danzig drummer Johnny Kelly join forces to launch a joint project, you can already guess that something great is about to happen.

In addition, when you can get different singers like Karl Agell (ex-Corrosion Of Conformity), Dewey Bragg (Kill Devil Hill), Rob Dukes (ex-Exodus), Mark Morales (Sons of Texas) and John Kosco (Dropbox) to lend their voices to this project for at least one song each, you inevitably ask yourself: “Shut up, where do I sign?”. In this case, the answer is: at MDD Records!

PATRIARCHS IN BLACK have done just that and will release their upcoming album next year via MDD. The band’s first single will be released in January and a short teaser, which at least gives an idea of the stylistic direction of the journey, has been available on YouTube for a few days. Be prepared, more info soon!
