Killswitch Engage‘s immediate touring will be conducted without guitarist Joel Stroetzel. The man has been forced to sit out the bands next few shows as a result of a family emergency. Unearth guitarist Ken Susi has been brought in to help out, as the band reveal:
“Due to a family emergency the mighty Joel will be sitting this run out this week. We will be performing some songs as a 4 piece and some songs with the talented and entertaining #KenSusi from @unearthofficial!
Our thoughts and love go out to Joel and his family. Joel wanted us to carry on and not cancel any shows, so here we go! Big Thanks to Ken Susi for learning songs in a day! #TheShowMustGoOn”
Live footage of the group performing in that above-mentioned configuration at Lupo’s in Providence, RI last night can be seen after the break:
