On August 6, 2021, three-time-Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights and platinum-selling band KILLSWITCH ENGAGE staged a streaming event at The Palladium in Worcester in the band's native Massachusetts, which has been the site of many iconic KILLSWITCH ENGAGE shows throughout the band's history. The performance setlist consisted of 2019's "Atonement" album in full, as well as the entirety of the band's 2000-released, self-titled debut LP — along with some fun and unexpected surprises. This special event was directed by David Brodsky and Allison Woest for MyGoodEye. The compelling performance, dubbed "Live At The Palladium", will be available for the first time digitally, on two-LP and two-CD/BR on June 3 via Metal Blade. Today, the band has shared the video for "Know Your Enemy". Watch it below. "This song speaks volumes about the state of the world, not only when I wrote the lyrics, but today, as well," says singer Jesse Leach. "It shines a light on the various protest songs we've written over the years. To me, the message is equally important as the music, and this song is no exception. And regardless of who we have become as a band, we still have our roots firmly planted in hardcore music." "Live At The Palladium" track listing: 01. Unleashed 02. The Signal Fire 03.
