New Killswitch Engage album's title, release date confirmed

Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 8/23/06 @ 1:21 PM - altpress.com

Massachusetts metalcore maestros Killswitch Engage have revealed some details of their upcoming fourth album. The disc, titled As Daylight Dies, will be released Nov. 21 on Roadrunner Records. The 12-song disc will include "This Is Absolution," "For You" and the title track.

"It is the typical line that everyone gives you -- that this is a heavier album -- but it kind of is," KSE bassist Mike D'Antonio told MTV.com. "It's definitely way heavier. There are still the melodic choruses here and there, and there's a lot to latch onto. But it's heavy."

The band plan on touring the U.S. this November to coincide with the album's release, but those dates are still in the pipeline; currently, the band are in the U.K. and have a Japanese/Australian tour lined up for this October, as well as a one-off date in Alaska. Dates:
