“If you took a molten metal, 80-foot-tall King Cobra and made it fight against Godzilla in a ‘Battle Royale’-style death cage match from hell, the outcome would be pretty much how we sound. It’s scary at times, and crushing at others.”–Mike D’Antonio, bass, Killswitch Engage
“Killswitch Engage staple technical riffs to ugly, bruising hardcore. Nu-metal? Not here, pal.” Kerrang! January 2002
