Killswitch Engage To Play 'Alive Or Just Breathing' On Australian Tour

Originally Appeared In

Out of Killswitch Engage's seven-album discography, there are three records that really stick out to critics and fans alike. Those three are, of course, 2002's 'Alive Or Just Breathing', '2004's 'The End Of Heartache' and 2006's 'As Daylight Dies'. Now, if I were to break down the best of those three to go from the best to the worst (the "worst" still being pretty damned good), it would be as followed: 'As Daylight Dies', then 'Alive Or Just Breathing' and then 'The End Of Heartache', with the band's other albums all sitting somewhere behind their 2004 breakout release.

Okay, I am well aware that this is "old" news of sorts, but fuck it, this is quite literally awesome news so I figured that I would cover it anyway. You cannot stop me.

Anyway! Out of Killswitch Engage's seven-album discography, there are three records that really stick out to critics and fans alike. Those three are, of course, 2002's 'Alive Or Just Breathing', '2004's 'The End Of Heartache' and 2006's 'As Daylight Dies'.

However, despite my own or anyone else's personal thoughts on the quality of the metal band's discography, it will be very cool to see singer Jesse Leach ripping through that killer 12-track release as if the fourteen since its release haven't flown past everyone, fans and band alike.

Of course, along with Killswitch Engage's full performance of their second album, the band will also be bringing out a whole host of their other singles and hits to appease all of the die-hard and casual fans in attendance.

While the local supports for the tour are yet to be announced, KSE will be bringing along Fallujah for their first ever Australian tour for a solid international support. Tickets for the tour (which is presented by Select Touring and Blue Murder) are on sale now. Dates below:
