Description
It’s impossible to understate the importance of Killswitch Engage’s 2000 debut. Their first of two self-titled albums didn’t just proclaim who they were as fearsome upstarts — it helped define the sound of metalcore in the decade to come. Jesse Leach’s soaring cleans lifted crushing, breakdown-heavy metalcore out of the small club scene and into the ears of a broader metal audience, providing a pathway for hundreds — if not thousands — of younger bands to follow them through.
