KILLSWITCH ENGAGE TO TOUR USA WITH AS I LAY DYING AND MORE...

After their crazy European tour with Sylosis and Heartist, Killswitch Engage will be traveling around the US on an even bigger tour! This time they'll hit the road with metalcore legends As I Lay Dying along with support from two more fantastic bands being Miss May I and Affiance!

The tour will begin at the end of May and will endure until the middle of the summer in July! After the comeback of original vocalist Jesse Leech, Killswitch Engage just released a new brilliant album "Disarm The Descent". You can take a look at our official review right here.

AFFIANCE "KINGS OF DECEIT" MUSIC VIDEO

In the calm before the storm of a new Affiance record, the band has released a new music video featuring harsh vocals Dustin Davidson of August Burns Red. It's a great video and really sets the tone for the album, a heavily charged political thriller. Should be awesome. Watch the video and peep some other new tracks from Affiance below. Also be sure to check out our album preview for "The Campaign".

AFFIANCE "THE CAMPAIGN" ALBUM PREVIEW

We met Affiance at Warped Tour. Their debut album was the first and only CD I've ever bought at a show, and I've been to too many shows (I don't like my CDs to be broken by the end of the day). I didn't recognize them at first, but when I listened to the sample they were passing around I knew exactly who I was talking to. I had seen their music video for "Call To The Warrior" randomly a few months prior and thought it was great... and hilarious but lost track of them until actually meeting them. When you listen to this band, you will notice how much the singer stands out with his crazy range matched with vocal power. Talked with him for a bit, really funny dude. The rest of the band is pretty good too, throwing in solos, catchy riffs, and such to create a slightly varied, more interesting than usual metalcore sound. They professed their love to me when I bought the album "No Secrets Revealed" so I thought I'd spread the love here

And rumor has it they have a new album coming November 13th. Watch out. "The Campaign" will be a beastly metal record. Pre-orders are now available here. Watch the affiance campaign ad and check out the new tracks below. "Bohemian" features a cameo from Memphis May Fire's Matty Mullins. Give em a good listen!

BANDS TO WATCH OUT FOR - AFFIANCE

We met Affiance at Warped Tour. Their debut album was the first and only CD I've ever bought at a show, and I've been to too many shows. I didn't recognize them at first, but when I listened to the sample they were passing around I knew exactly who I was talking to. I had seen their music video for "Call To The Warrior" randomly a few months prior and thought it was great... and hilarious but lost track of them until actually meeting them. I have that video posted below along with a lyric video for their newest song. Rumor has they have a new album coming this Fall. Watch out. When you listen to this band, you will notice how much the singer stands out with his crazy range matched with vocal power. Talked with him for a bit, really funny dude. The rest of the band is pretty good too, throwing in solos, catchy riffs, and such to create a slightly varied, more interesting than usual metalcore sound.
