BW&BK; recently received the following Killswitch Engage press release:

Killswitch Engage are headed out on the road once again.

Fresh off a summer trek as one of the main stage attractions of the second annual Rock Star Energy Mayhem Fest, the band will take the show on the road for a headline trek across the US, which is their first for their new self-titled album.

The tour will begin on February 4th in their home state of Massachusetts and will cover significant ground across the country for seven weeks. To keep things interesting, Killswitch Engage have elected to play smaller venues in a handful of cities in order to create a more intimate setting for their fans.

Joining Killswitch as main support will be Dayton, OH’s THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, who released their latest album With Roots Above and Branches Below via Ferret Music back in May 2009 and immediately followed with a hugely successful stint on last summer’s Warped Tour, resulting in a fanbase that has since grown exponentially.

Also joining Killswitch Engage on this run will be highly influential metal act DARK TRANQUILLITY, who hail from Gothenburg, Sweden. Dark Tranquility are set to release their anticipated new album We Are the Void through Century Media in March 2010.

In other Killswitch Engage news, the song 'The End of Heartache', the title track from their 2004, Gold-certified release, will appear on Guitar Hero: VAN HALEN alongside tracks from acts like FOO FIGHTERS, WEEZER, JUDAS PRIEST and THE CLASH, among others.

Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam D. weighed in on the tour saying, “We are stoked to come back to the US and shred with The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Tranquility. It’s been a while since we’ve headlined the States and we’re excited to play some new tunes for y’all. This tour is going to be wicked sweet!”
