Last night at The Factory, metalheads gathered for a nearly sold-out show that was nothing short of electrifying. Despite it being a school night, fans showed up in droves, clad in the obligatory black concert shirt attire and ready to unleash their inner beasts.

Killswitch Engage made the most of their first outdoor UK festival headline set with buckets of bangers, a beefed up stage show and some brilliantly daft stage banter; Killswitch Engage Bloodstock Open Air 2023 setlist

Shortly after forming in 1999 in Westfield, Massachusetts, Killswitch Engage became one of the leaders of the burgeoning metalcore movement. The band stood out by balancing brutality and finesse, avoiding the extremes of other bands in that genre. This led to sales of more than four million records
