Sean Townsend releases Killswitch Engage piano tribute 'Chillswitch Engage'

For the past few years, musician Sean Townsend has been focusing on their Killswitch Engage tribute Chillswitch Engage. Fortunately, they recently dropped the full thing for your listening pleasure.

The mesmerizing 12 song piano tribute focuses on the band’s hits such “The End of Heartache,” “"The Arms of Sorrow," and "Always." Aside from fan favorites, there’s the deep cuts “Reject Yourself” from As Daylight Dies and the instrumental “As Embers Rise” from The End of Heartache. While this doesn’t have any material from their 2016 release Incarnate or “Unleashed” from their forthcoming album Atonement, we can bet the musician will come up with something very soon.

Aside from covers on their YouTube channel, Townsend has solo material out, including their 2017 EP When Dying Light Fades. Check out their original tunes as well as their Killswitch Engage tribute below.
