Legends of modern heavy music, Killswitch Engage return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026, bringing more than two decades of genre-defining metal to the stage with their biggest Antipodean headline shows yet, joined by special guests, British heavyweights, Sylosis.
The Western Massachusetts metallers helped redraw the map for modern metal in the early 2000’s, fusing blistering European‑inspired guitar work, East Coast hardcore energy and emotionally charged, uplifting lyrics into a sound that changed the game for a generation of bands and fans.
Across a landmark career, Killswitch Engage have earned three Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance, multiple gold and platinum records, billions of streams and forged a reputation as one of the most powerful live acts in heavy music. From classic albums like Alive Or Just Breathing, The End of Heartache and As Daylight Dies through to charttopping releases Disarm the Descent, Incarnate and 2019’s Atonement, they’ve consistently raised the bar while packing out venues and festival main stages around the world.
Fresh from celebrating 25 years as a band and the release of their latest album This Consequence, which featured blockbuster single “I Believe,” the biggest radio hit of their career, Killswitch Engage are set to deliver a career‑spanning set for their Australian and New Zealand fans.
Expect a night that runs from era‑defining anthems to new favourites, all delivered with the intensity and heart that has seen them share stages with everyone from Iron Maiden and Slayer to My Chemical Romance, Mastodon, Slipknot and Parkway Drive.

British metal powerhouse SYLOSISare preparing to take their monumentally heavy, riff-fuelled live show across the Northern Hemisphere.
Next week, the band will be launching head-first into a collosal month-long trek across North America alongside Bleed From Within, Great American Ghost and Life Cycles.
To set the stage, SYLOSIS have released a break-neck live video for their track ‘All Glory, No Valour‘, filmed during their career-defining performance last month at The Forum, London, a highlight of their biggest headline tour to-date.
SYLOSIS commented:
“All Glory, No Valour is a collective favourite from The New Flesh. Since the early demos, the song always stood out as one of the most aggressive that the band has ever put together. Instead of a standard video, we agreed that releasing a live version of it at some point would be best so listeners could really connect with the energy of the track. Filmed at our biggest headline show to date at London’s O2 Forum in Kentish Town, this video really captures the essence of our live performance. Catch us live across North America over the next couple of months with Bleed From Within and across UK & Europe early next year with Whitechapel. We’ll see you soon.”

SUMMER 2026 19/06 – FR Clisson, Hellfest
Last month, Sylosis released their career-defining record The New Flesh. The album is a towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force. The band’s seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of Sylosis in 2026: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.
When the going gets tough, metal gets heavier. SYLOSIS have always been devoted to the fine art of breaking necks, but in recent times, the urgency of their mission has grown exponentially. Still surfing on a wave of acclaim and the effusive fan response to their last album, 2023’s A Sign Of Things To Come, Josh Middleton’s virtuoso wrecking crew are poised to release their latest and best album, The New Flesh. A towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force, the band’s seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of SYLOSIS in 2026: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.
The New Flesh is a fearsome statement of renewed intent. Harder, heavier and more ruthless than its predecessor, it is full of the kind of explosive, riff-driven anthems that guarantee carnage in the pit. But this is no exercise in mindless bludgeon: instead, Josh Middleton has penned his most evocative and thought-provoking songs to date. From the punishing grooves and breakneck viciousness of the opening ‘Beneath The Surface‘, to the epic conflagration of album closer ‘Seeds In The River‘, The New Flesh is an artful and nuanced take on the pure metal that SYLOSIS hold close to their hearts. This is brutality and catchiness in perfect symbiosis.
Dark and destructive, but dynamic and diligent, SYLOSIS are on blistering, career-best form on The New Flesh. The purposeful reset that began with A Sign Of Things To Come has evolved into something unstoppable, and the band’s latest work brims with confidence and authority. If it’s skull-shattering, 21st century heavy metal you want, The New Flesh brings it like never before.
SYLOSIShave announced a formidable 6-date, co-headline run across the UK and Ireland in January 2027 with American deathcore bruisers Whitechapel. 200 Stab Wounds and Tribal Gaze will be joining as supports.
This devastating package will also hit mainland Europe, with Whitechapel headlining these shows and Sylosis supporting.
“Following the success of the recent New Flesh headline tour, we really wanted to get back around the UK and mainland Europe as soon as possible. When we knew there was a chance to team up with Whitechapel, we knew this was the obvious choice! They’ve been around for a long time, much like ourselves, and have consistently released brilliant albums. It’s been great to see them do so well over recent years. We will co-headline in the UK, then head out as special guests in Europe alongside 200 Stab Wounds and Tribal Gaze. Another 2 bands that are absolutely killing it right now. This is one hell of a package and an opportunity to bring more songs from The New Flesh into a live environment in some of our favourite markets. Don’t sleep on tickets! See you out there – Josh, Ali, Ben, Conor”

The band stated:
“The New Flesh is now out in the world and we could not be happier with what we have created here. It is our heaviest, yet most diverse and collaborative record to date. We’ve already been playing a bunch of these songs live and it’s been amazing to see the crowd respond to the songs so positively.
Today, we will celebrate the release in London with a full band Q&A/signing session at The Black Heart, then play the biggest headline show of our career at O2 Forum Kentish Town. It really feels like a step up for the band. We can not wait to see everyone.
Huge thank you to our team for helping get this album out there, and to all of our fans, old and new, thank you so much for your support over the years. A new era starts today.
Josh, Ali, Ben & Conor”

Late last year, SYLOSIS almost left a rift in the cosmos with furious track ‘The New Flesh‘. Now they’re back for blood, delivering devastating second single ‘Erased‘.
‘Erased‘ is taken from their upcoming seventh studio album, The New Flesh, slated to drop on February 20th via Nuclear Blast Records. The New Flesh is a towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force.
SYLOSIS stated, “Erased was one of the last songs to be written for the album. As we were approaching the deadline to get everything submitted there was a pressure there that really helped shape this song into something special. There’s a massive chorus here and one of our favourite middle 8 sections that we’ve ever put together. We can’t wait to play this one live.”

When the going gets tough, metal gets heavier. SYLOSIS have always been devoted to the fine art of breaking necks, but in recent times, the urgency of their mission has grown exponentially. Still surfing on a wave of acclaim and the effusive fan response to their last album, 2023’s A Sign Of Things To Come, Josh Middleton’s virtuoso wrecking crew are poised to release their latest and best album, The New Flesh. A towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force, the band’s seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of SYLOSIS in 2025: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.
The New Flesh is a fearsome statement of renewed intent. Harder, heavier and more ruthless than its predecessor, it is full of the kind of explosive, riff-driven anthems that guarantee carnage in the pit. But this is no exercise in mindless bludgeon: instead, Josh Middleton has penned his most evocative and thought-provoking songs to date. From the punishing grooves and breakneck viciousness of the opening ‘Beneath The Surface‘, to the epic conflagration of album closer ‘Seeds In The River‘, The New Flesh is an artful and nuanced take on the pure metal that SYLOSIS hold close to their hearts. This is brutality and catchiness in perfect symbiosis.
Dark and destructive, but dynamic and diligent, SYLOSIS are on blistering, career-best form on The New Flesh. The purposeful reset that began with The Sign Of Things To Come has evolved into something unstoppable, and the band’s latest work brims with confidence and authority. If it’s skull-shattering, 21st century heavy metal you want, The New Flesh brings it like never before.
