Killswitch Engage delivered a 25th anniversary set during their performance at last night’s (September 21st) ‘New England Metal And Hardcore Festival‘ in Worcester, MA.

As an added bonus, 2009’s “The Forgotten” made its way back into the set for the first time since 2010. According to those in attendance, last night’s setlist ran as follows:
