Roadrunner Records issues briefly that KILLSWITCH ENGAGE‘s October 30 performance in Chicago has moved from the Congress Theater to the Aragon Ballroom. The band will be performing with Lamb of God, Testament, and Huntress.
According to Roadrunner Records, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE played a very special, intimate show on Saturday, October 12 at Santos Party House in New York. The room only holds about 400 people, so this was a show for hardcore fans, and those fans were rewarded with a set list that featured deep album cuts and rare songs, including the first-ever performance of “Turning Point,” from their new album Disarm the Descent. Watch the band play “In Due Time” below. The show was presented by the CBGB Festival and The Merciless Book of Metal Lists, and the proceeds went to benefit the FC Foundation, whose mission is to fight cancer by raising awareness and to educate about early cancer detection, ultimately putting an end to late-stage cancer diagnoses.
The full set was as follows:
1. Rise Inside
2. Fixation on the Darkness
3. Reckoning
4. The New Awakening
5. Just Barely Breathing
6. Take This Oath
7. Prelude
8. In the Unblind
9. Temple from the Within
10. The Element of One
11. Turning Point
12. This Is Absolution
13. Life to Lifeless
14. My Curse
15. The End of Heartache
16. In Due Time

17. Rose of Sharyn
18. My Last Serenade Killswitch Engage‘s North American tour with Lamb of God, Testament, and Huntress begins October 22 and runs through November 26; find a show near you!
Longtime friends LAMB OF GOD and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have joined forces for what will undoubtedly be one of the essential “can’t miss” tours of the fall of 2013. The tour launches October 22 in Toronto at Kool Haus and then moves down the road to Sound Academy for a second show October 23rd before canvassing much of the US and Canada. The two bands are a dominant live pairing, and will combine for 28 North American shows in total. Support for all shows except Los Angeles will be provided by thrash legends TESTAMENT, with HUNTRESS opening all shows.
LAMB OF GOD will end the North American portion of the Resolution record cycle with this tour. It will include a coast to coast visit to all major Canadian cities which will be their first visit to Canada on this cycle other than a festival play in June in Montebello and a show in Toronto in January 2012. In the last year, both Ashes of the Wake and Sacrament have been certified gold in Canada. LAMB OF GOD will finish the Resolution cycle completely with a visit to Europe and South Africa in January 2014. Details on that tour will be released late August.
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE released their sixth album Disarm The Descent this April, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200; at No. 1 on Hard Rock Chart; and at No. 1 on the Rock Chart. It marked the first album with frontman Jesse Leach at the vocal helm since 2002’s now-classic Alive Or Just Breathing. The album has been warmly embraced and well-received by both fans and the media, as it has just crossed the 100,000-sold mark in only three months of release. Having just wrapped a highly successful US summer headline tour, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE look to continue their Disarm the Descent record cycle with this fall trek.
