Thank you, THUNDER BAY!!! As a thank yours we off this ode to our brother Joel, the band’s honorary Thunder Bayer! Join us in hailing his friendship, stoicism, humor, and love of all things guitars and amps. He’s the one and the only—the inventor of the Child’s Taco™—and we celebrate him every single day.✊🏻♥️ / 📸: @manalivecreative

ROCK LA CAUZE!!! Thanks so much for all the love last night AND for doing good in your community of Victoriaville! A kick-ass festival that gives back? WE LOVE IT. À la prochaine!!!🤘🏻🔥 / 📹: @manalivecreative

While the Canadian tour starts tomorrow, here’s a series of moments from the last time we took the stage. Do we miss it? Hell yeah. There’s no tellin’ what’ll happen when we follow our friends in @MfnH and @MalevolenceRiff onto the stage!?!? Grab a double-double and let’s fuggin’ go, bud!!! 🤘🏻🔥 / 📸: @manalivecreative

“From sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution!” The ultimate POV! Real, genuine live music with passionate, kick ass friends feeling it with us? We’re living the dream and we simply cannot wait to hit the road again next week! 📹: Jesse Leach

As we prepare to head out on tour again (Canada, let’s do this!), we wanted to share some of the beautiful faces and incredible energy we saw from the stage in June. We THANK YOU and we APPRECIATE YOU and we’re NOTHING without YOU!!! Anyone spy themselves or their friends? 📹: @manalivecreative

📸: @kevinwilsonnyc /// Guest feature photographer Kevin Wilson, a long-time friend of ours, was spotted running wild on the streets of NYC once again—stopping by the Brooklyn Paramount to take digital snaps of us (and all of you) while we were in town last month. Kevin’s not only a great photographer, he’s a fantastic person and it’s always great to see him when we’re in the city.

Mr. Adam D. reprises his award-winning role in “Running With The Adam II”!!! You never know when he’ll be lurking behind you, doing shots at the bar, or screaming in your face at the top of his lungs! Trash D is a man of the people and he endorses this message. 📹: @manalivecreative

📸: @melindaoswandel /// Guest feature photographer Melinda Oswandel, a long-time live shooter of the KsE, came out to The Fillmore in Detroit on June 3rd and captured a ton of most excellent images during our set. While we love being home with our families and friends, gazing upon these frames sure does make us miss the road. It won’t be long, for sure!

“This’ll be good!” 🤣 Before a tour begins, Adam & Joel sit together, plug in portable amps, review the setlist, and run-through any songs they’d like to rehearse (while playing the original recordings through a phone). Sometimes it’s a new track (like “I Believe”) and sometimes it’s an oldie brought back into the set (“As Daylight Dies”). No matter what it is, it’s clear to us that nobody—and we mean NOBODY—has more fun playing guitar than our guys. 📹: @manalivecreative

Our first-ever appearance at the legendary @mkemetalfest was as a headliner this year. We played the Eagles Ballroom, a beautiful domed ceiling space that began hosting concerts, boxing matches, and events in 1927. We saw so many friends, old and new, and our dressing room looked out onto the abandoned pool—an attraction for all who play The Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee! 📸: @manalivecreative

WE ARE THE ROADCREW!!! It takes a village, or in this case, a ragtag crew of swashbuckling road pirates! The @ksehighseascrew take the lead every single show day and bring it all home in the late night hours. There’s very little time for marauding fun like walking a prisoner down the plank, teaching your parrot swear words, or competing in peg leg races—the crew work their asses off and we love them for it.

Thanks to our team as well as the venues, their staff, security, and especially you—THE FANS—for an incredible tour!

To quote our friends on the @ironmaiden crew, there’s “two minutes to load out!” ✊🏻🔥

@RyanMcKinnell We love playing baseball fields and all kinds of alternate venues! What a beautiful and fantastic nights thanks for coming out and supporting us!🙏🏻🔥

[Killswitch Engage @kseofficial]

What a way to wrap up the tour in the land of THRASH! 🤘🏻🔥 Thanks to everyone who came out and partied. Thanks to Havok, Iron Reagan, and Machine Head for an incredible tour. Thanks to The Warfield and its amazing staff and incredible history. We hope to see you all again soon! 📸: manalivecreative /// P.S. “Francisco. That’s fun to say.”—Buddy the Elf

LOS ANGELES!!! California knows how to party! The legendary @hollywoodpalladium played host to our collective shenanigans and we felt the love from beginning to end. So many beautiful friends, so much laughter, and so much energy. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts, LA!!! 📽️: @manalivecreative

TEMPE!!! “Caught in a mosh!!!” From the pit to the balcony, y’all killed it last night! We had a great time debuting two songs in the set, for sure. We mean it when we say that we can’t do this without you. Who are we without everyone coming out to our shows, supporting our music, and picking up a shirt (or 10… fuck the rent🤣)! We love you and thank you all.✊🏻🔥/ 📸: @manalivecreative
