Roadrunner Records reports that KILLSWITCH ENGAGE are inviting fans to design a T-shirt for them through Creative Allies; the winner will receive $500 and a Killswitch prize pack. Get all the specs, deadlines and more here! Check out the contest announcement below:
Creative Allies says, “We’re looking for a powerful T-shirt design that represents the classic aesthetic of Killswitch Engage. The shirt should capture the scope of the band’s travels and should be the perfect keepsake for fans to commemorate a show or for those who missed the chance…Killswitch Engage bassist, Mike D’Antonio, is responsible for designing all of the band’s album artwork and tour merchandise. He, along with the rest of the band, will personally be judging the contest.”
You’ve got until March 17 to enter; get started, and good luck!

Roadrunner‘s this week’s Spotify playlist features a bunch of tracks from Kvelertak, because their album Meir is picking up so much critical praise as 2013 winds down, but it’s also got killer songs from Airbourne, Gojira, Killswitch Engage, Scar The Martyr and Trivium. Enjoy!
Roadrunner Records have reported that Adam D. and Jesse Leach of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE were interviewed by Impericon the last time they were on tour in Europe—here are their answers to the site’s infamous “25 Questions,” which include impossible choices like: Black Flag or Black Sabbath? Metallica or Slayer? Terminator or Rocky? and many more. Watch now!
