Incarnate, the seventh studio album from Westfield, Massachusetts metalcore lifers Killswitch Engage, came out on Roadrunner on March 11, 2016, the second record since founding singer Jesse Leach returned to the fold. Guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz produced it himself, and the lineup around Leach is the settled one: Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel on guitars, Mike D'Antonio on bass, Justin Foley on drums.
The rollout started months early with "Strength of the Mind" in December 2015, then "Hate by Design" in January, video attached, and "Cut Me Loose" in February. It's the sound of a veteran band still swinging hard: riffs that bludgeon, then choruses that throw the windows open.
It paid off. Incarnate debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, the band's best showing there, topped both the Top Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums charts, and moved 33,000 copies in its first week. Memphis May Fire and 36 Crazyfists came along on the tour.
