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
