KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewkillswitch.html
With enough determination, every tragedy can be turned into triumph. This
is the story of Killswitch Engage, who bounced back after the loss of
their vocalist and drummer after the release of their debut 'Alive Or Just
Breathing'. They quickly found replacements in the form of vocalist Howard
Jones and drummer Justin Foley and became a better band in the end. The
band's comeback 'The End Of Heartache' sold in excess of 37,000 copies in
its first week on the shelves, the fourth highest chart debut on
Roadrunner Records. Metal Update cornered bassist Mike D'Antonio and
confronted him about the new lineup, his artwork techniques and his
thoughts on the band's recent success.
