Killswitch Engage 'Disarm the Decent' at no.1 rock album chart

Killswitch Engage will hit the road on their first tour in support of "Disarm the Descent" this summer. They will be supported by As I Lay Dying, Miss May I and Affiance, ARTIST direct reports.

Killswitch Engage earned a Top 10 debut, placing ‘Disarm the Descent’ at No. 7 on this week’s chart. The disc sold 48,000 copies, which helped land the album at No. 7 on the tally. The album matches the high water mark for Killswitch Engage, who also debuted at No. 7 with their self-titled 2009 release.

‘Disarm the Descent’ features the return of the band’s original frontman, Jesse Leach, who had been absent from their recordings for over a decade while Howard Jones fronted the group. The album also topped the Rock Albums chart, bowing at No. 1.

Jesse Leach said: "We look forward to sharing this tour with our old friends and brothers in metal As I Lay Dying. I personally have never had the chance to tour with them and I am looking forward to having such a quality band out with us to give this tour even more fire! We will also be joined by a talented and up-and-coming band Miss May I. Thanks to all the U.S. fans for your support! Our live show will be full on energy with all of us ready to take this to a whole new level."
