I was a little apprehensive about heading out to the Orbit room on a Monday night to see a metal band.
I had heard good things about Killswitch Engage and have played its song "My Curse" on the ever popular game Guitar Hero. As I walked in I was pleased to see the place was packed. I noticed all ages of people were there, but that was not what caught my eye. What did, though, were the numerous amounts of people wearing tuxedo T-shirts.
I was a little amused but thought I was missing something so I continued down to the stage. I was amazed when I saw the crowd for the opening bands – Job for a Cowboy and Whitechapel, which both gave stellar performances.
By the time Killswitch Engage hit the stage I was pumped. They opened the show with "Serenade" decked out in, you guessed it, tuxedo T-shirts. The crowd roared and sang along to awesome rock, heavy metal, and just all around great music. I was very impressed by the performance; I would say that Killswitch has gained a new fan.
