Roadrunner Recording artists Killswitch engage bring their signature melodic metalcore style to the Tabernacle in Atlanta headlining their first North America tour.
The eve of their performance however marked an unexpected departure from the tour by vocalist Howard Jones due to “unforseen circumstances”. As such, All That Remains vocalist Phil Labonte joined the band on a moments notice for a unique performance that delivered in classic Killswitch Engage form.
Playing what appeared to be their tour setlist, Phil filled the vocal duties of Howard nicely. The longstanding friendship with the band was apparent as Phil commanded the stage and effortlessly delivered the signature vocal style of the band.
Joel Stroetzel, Justin Foley, and Mike D’Antonio delivered impressive performances through the bands catalog of hits including “Rose Of Sharyn”, “My Last Serenade”, “The End of a Heartache”, and Dio’s “Holy Diver” mixed in with fan favorites and some deep album cuts.
Shooting conditions were the standard three and out. Due to the bands shorter and aggressive first songs the amount of shooting time was around 10 minutes. Lighting began purely backlit by led panels during the first song, washes of red in the second song, and washes of blue in the third song. This was in stark contrast to the bands 2009 performance during the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest. Camera settings fell around 1/200 F2.8 with ISO ranges of 3200-5000.
