Killswitch Engage 2022 Atonement Tour with Light The Torch and August Burns Red

Johnnie Crow — Fri, 28 Jan 2022 17:18:02 +0000

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE ANNOUNCE RESCHEDULED HEADLINE TOUR FOR WINTER 2022

AUGUST BURNS RED + LIGHT THE TORCH TO REJOIN AS SUPPORT

Gold-selling and three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights Killswitch Engage have announced their rescheduled headline tour for Winter 2022.

KsE, recognized by Forbes as “one of modern metal’s most cherished acts,” will bring The Atonement Tour back on the road to clubs and theaters across the U.S. and into Canada. The trek kicks off on January 28 in Pittsburgh and runs through March 12 in Philadelphia.

All dates are below. Tickets are onsale here.

The Atonement Tour makes its return with the same powerful lineup, which includes Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s August Burns Red as main support and Light the Torch as the opening act. As fans are more than well aware, LTT front man Howard Jones served as KsE’s singer from 2002 through 2012.

This tour package was originally planned for Spring 2020 but was ultimately postponed two dates into the original run due to the global shutdown that was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will now include all of the rescheduled dates as well as several new locations across the U.S.

“The long wait is finally over,” says KsE singer Jesse Leach. “We worked very hard to carefully piece this tour back together properly. After the tour was shut down two days in when it started in 2020, we are bringing it back! We are honored and stoked to have August Burns Red and Howard Jones and the boys in Light the Torch along to make this an ‘all killer, no filler’ lineup.”

Jones echoes the sentiment, saying, “FINALLY! We get to pick up where we left off on the Atonement tour with KsE and ABR! We couldn’t be more excited to resume with the same lineup, and additional dates have been added so don’t miss this noisy party. Now, stop reading this and get your tickets. GO! This will be a tour to remember and you do not want to miss it!”

Killswitch Engage To Release Atonement II B-Sides For Charity

Johnnie Crow — Tue, 05 May 2020 15:08:34 +0000

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE TO RELEASE ATONEMENT II B-SIDES FOR CHARITY

ALL PROCEEDS TO BE DONATED TO COVID-19 RELIEF FUND

Killswitch Engage —Adam Dutkiewicz [guitar], Joel Stroetzel [guitar], Mike D’Antonio [bass], Justin Foley [drums], and Jesse Leach [vocals]— are releasing Atonement II B-Sides For Charity. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the COVID-19 Relief Fund for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.

The release will include six songs from the recording sessions for KsE’s 2019-released and Grammy-nominated album Atonement, out now via Metal Blade Records. It will be exclusively available on Bandcamp for a week as of May 1. It will then go live at all DSPs on May 8. The track listing is below.

“These songs didn’t make the final cut for Atonement,” says Leach. “Choosing which songs make an album remains a tough process for me. While the songs that made the most sense appear on the album, I’m still attached to every song I write. So, when the idea came up to put these B-Sides out and donate funds to a charity, I was relieved at the idea and the band unanimously agreed to the cause. I am proud these songs get to see a release, and to help others in the process is a huge bonus.”

He continues, “These songs were written during a very difficult and uncertain time of my life. They are written with two perspectives: that of a struggling, angry, frustrated man having a crisis of faith, life, and love and a man finding the will and the strength to change perspective, try again, and to fight through it all. Although these songs may not have made the cut for the album, they are deeply meaningful songs that I believe in whole heartedly. Lyrically, they are some of my favorites that I have written. From the very personal ‘Hollow Convictions,’ ‘No Devotion,’ and ‘I Feel Alive Again,’ to the battle cry songs of ‘Killing of Leviathan,’ ‘Prophets of Treason,’ and ‘The Great Beyond,’ it tells the story of my journey and my view of the world around me.”

The singer finishes, “Big thanks to Metal Blade for partnering up with us on this! Also thank you to Center for Disaster Philanthropy for their amazing work! Lastly, thanks to all of you for purchasing the songs and contributing to helping those who are in desperate need during these uncertain times.”

ATONEMENT II B-SIDES FOR CHARITY TRACK LISTING:
“To The Great Beyond”
“Hollow Convictions”
“Killing of Leviathan”
“No Devotion”
“I Feel Alive Again”
“Prophets of Treason”

KsE postponed their Spring 2020 Atonement tour with August Burns Red and Light The Torch after only a few shows in March due to the COVID-19 shutdown. The band will announce the rescheduled dates soon.

Jasta Releases The Lost Chapters Volume 2 With Heavy Collaborators

Johnnie Crow — Sun, 15 Dec 2019 07:37:23 +0000

JASTA SELF-RELEASES THE LOST CHAPTERS, VOL. 2

TUNE INTO SIRIUSXM’S OCTANE ALL WEEKEND TO HEAR MORE

The name “Jasta” represents one of music’s most prolific and powerful reputations. As founder and frontman for GRAMMY-nominated monoliths Hatebreed alongside his countless collaborations, Jasta’s reputation extends well beyond music. From stints as the three-year host of MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball to his own popular podcast, the 2016-launched The Jasta Show, he has become synonymous with both heavy music and hardcore culture.

Friday the 13th, Jasta self-releases the new solo album The Lost Chapters, Vol. 2. The album’s guest appearances reads like a veritable “Who’s Who” of heavy metal. The record is available here and is already Top 10 overall on U.S. iTunes.

Jasta will serve as a Guest DJ on SiriusXM’s Octane on December 13, at 6pm ET. He will be playing songs from the new album and bangers from his favorite bands.

The show will repeat on Saturday, 12/14 at 12pm; Sunday, 12/15 at 3pm; Monday, 12/16 at 9pm; Tuesday, 12/17 at 9am; Wednesday, 12/18 at 2pm, and Thursday, 12/19 at 10pm. All times are in ET.

To dive even deeper into The Lost Chapters, Vol. 2, check out Jasta’s Hard Drive interview here.

Previously, Jasta shared “When The Contagion Is You,” featuring Trivium’s Matthew K. Heafy and generating airplay on SiriusXM’s Octane, and “Strength to Draw the Line,” a call-to-arms ripper featuring Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach in peak form. Jamey and Jesse were also featured on the cover of the Spotify Kickass Metal Playlist.

The album also includes additional guest appearances from Max Cavalera (Soulfly), Howard Jones (Light the Torch), George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher (Cannibal Corpse), Kirk Windstein (Crowbar/Kingdom of Sorrow), and many more.

This new material is the first all-new music from Jasta since the release of Hatebreed’s most recent album, The Concrete Confessional, which spawned the band’s biggest streaming hit to date, “Looking Down The Barrel of Today.” Moreover, this new body of work stands as a unique release for the genre, given the entirely collaborative nature of guest vocalists and musicians that rotate throughout every song.

As Jasta explains, “It was overdue for another solo release since the last one had come out in 2017. The timing for new music is perfect. It was important to me for this new collection to have the compilation feel of the first one while maintaining its catchiness and dynamics.”

The full track listing is below.

THE LOST CHAPTERS, VOL. 2 TRACK LISTING:
“They Want Your Soul” Featuring George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher
‘Return From War” Featuring Max Cavalera
“Strength to Draw the Line” Featuring Jesse Leach
“Cleansed By The Waves” Featuring Zoli Teglas
“When The Contagion Is You” Featuring Matthew K.Heafy
“Spilled Blood Never Dries” Featuring Kirk Windstein

“The job the crew at INKCARCERATION did coming out of the gate demanded to be recognized,” says Destination Mansfield President Lee Tasseff. “Our organization has worked with national events over the years, but nothing compared to the level of professionalism demonstrated in producing a head-turning concert event of the highest order on the iconic grounds of the Ohio State Reformatory…it was and is a perfect match.

Welcome To Rockville 2019 Day 1

Johnnie Crow — Thu, 16 May 2019 04:46:18 +0000

The ninth annual Welcome To Rockville Festival expanded to 3 days in 2019, spread out across Jacksonville, Florida’s Metropolitan Park along the St John’s River. Fans were treated to eats rom the following local and regional restaurants and food trucks: Barrique, The Bread and Board, BC Taco, Brucci’s Pizza, Cely’s Filipino Cuisine, Chinchilla’s Eatz on the Streetz, Dos Vatos Tacos, Eli’s BBQ, Gouda Boys, Grumpy’s Homemade Ice Cream, Guanabana Ice Pops, Island Noodles, Mama’s Food Truck, Mojo’s BBQ, Pie Baby Wood Fired Pizza, Pele’s Wood Fire Pizza & Tuscan Kitchen, Sweet Pete’s, The Girls Gone Green Nacho Bar, Ubora Coffee, What’s The Catch Fish Tacos, and Wurstbusters Truck. Drinkers could choose from a variety of beverages, including Bud Light, Enter Night Pilsner from Metallica and Stone Brewing, Blackened American whiskey from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and Metallica, selections from the Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyards Wine Garden (owned by Maynard James Keenan, co-founder of international recording acts Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer), killer cocktails at the Heavy Tiki Bar oasis, and local craft beer, including options from world renowned Tampa-based Cigar City Brewing.

Friday, May 3, 2019 was Day 1 of Welcome To Rockville. The day was off to a great start, when dangerous thunderstorms closed in on the festival site, and the promoters took every precaution by pausing the concert, and safely evacuating the park. After a couple of hours delay, and a negotiated extension to the city curfew, the bands were rescheduled and the show went on. The performers on Day 1 were Korn, Evanescence, Chevelle, The Crystal Method, Flogging Molly, Killswitch Engage, Circa Survive, Tom Morello, Mark Lanegan Band, Beartooth, Black Pistol Fire, Hands Like Houses, Wilson, Hyro The Hero, Light The Torch, Amigo The Devil, Demob Happy, Cleopatrick, and Dirty Honey. This was a great mix of rock legends and bands on the rise. Some of the stand out new acts were Hyro The Hero, Amigo The Devil, Light The Torch and Wilson. The Crystal Method filled in for The Prodigy, offering a change of pace. Amy Lee and Evanescence returned to full on rock mode after touring with piano and orchestra. Killswitch Engage put on a breathtaking performance that was sadly cut short due to the impending lightning. Korn closed out a long day with an inspired performance.

Considered one of the most haunted buildings in the country and the setting of the 1994 cinematic classic/IMDB’s highest rated movie of all time, The Shawshank Redemption (celebrating its 25^th anniversary his year), the Reformatory is centrally located about an hour away from Cleveland, Columbus, and Canton/Akron, Ohio and within a three-hour driving distance of Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, northern West Virginia, Michigan and southern Ontario. This is the perfect destination festival! Additionally, INKCARCERATION features tent and RV camping for a true outdoor festival experience! See below for more details.

Stay tuned for more details coming soon regarding tattoo artists, gourmet food trucks, and more!

INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival promoters promise an epic year. “Building off such a strong inaugural year, we are so stoked to give our fans even more in year two. With Billboard chart-topping bands such as Shinedown, Godsmack and Five Finger Death Punchleading the way, tattoo artists from around the globe, and the historic backdrop of the haunted Shawshank Prison, INKCARCERATION 2019 will be the don’t miss rock event of the summer in the Midwest!”

It’s Halloween in July at INKCARCERATION 2019!

Mentioned above, Escape from Blood Prison is the annual Halloween haunted house attraction hosted at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH. It typically runs from the end of September through early November every year, but INKCARCERATION will make this spooky attraction available for festival goers to experience all weekend long in 2019! Once Blood Prison takes over the reformatory, the enormous facility is filled with bloodthirsty inmates waiting for victims to enter and try and make it through the facility alive!

“It’s an honor to be able to open the doors of Blood Prison a couple months early and give the guests of INKCARCERATION a few scares in July! The warden, his family and the Blood Prison inmates are all excited to meet the fans at INKCARCERATION,” says Vic Amesquita, manager of Blood Prison.
