KILLSWITCH ENGAGE news!

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE is my favorite band. Lead singer, Howard Jones, has recently left KSE's current tour due to an undisclosed "personal issue". Instead of canceling their shows, Phil Labonte, lead singer of ALL THAT REMAINS (my Top Five favorite bands), is taking over. They are still offering their fans refunds, but I guarantee not too many people will cash in on that because the shows that they've completed with Labonte have received a positive responses. Personally, I would love to see them with Phil. I would just love to hear one song with him doing lead vocals. There's a video on youtube (link through Killswitch's website, http://www.killswitchengage.com/) of a recent performance in Baltimore, but the audio quality is extremely poor. You can barely hear Phil's vocals. It's still something to see. Both bands, in addition to being the leaders/innovators of the "melodic metalcore" genre in the mid to late 90s, and both being from Massachusetts, are good friends. To me that's AMAZING!
