Killswitch Engage

In an interesting and unexpected turn, newly announced for Soundwave 2016, US metal acts Killswitch Engage and Ill Niño will not only be appearing at Soundwave next year, but they will also be performing in full their respective landmark albums ‘Alive Or Just Breathing’ and ‘Revolution, Revolucion’.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE’s ‘Alive Or Just Breathing’ album was a watershed moment in metal in 2002 as it heralded the birth of ‘Metalcore’. An army of imitators was born and have all tried in vain to emulate this essential classic. In a Special Soundwave Presentation, we are thrilled to announce that KILLSWITCH ENGAGE will be performing ‘Alive Or Just Breathing’ in its entirety at SOUNDWAVE 2016.

Not to be outdone, ILL NIÑO are stepping up to the plate and will be ripping Soundwave 16 a new one performing ‘Revolution, Revolucion’ in its entirety! ILL NIÑO frontman Cristian Machado states “Soundwave just got some Latin metal in its veins and Revolution is the heart of the game!  ILL NIÑO is honoured to be part of this epic festival. Gracias Australia! This time we’ll be armed with our powerful debut album “Revolution, Revolucion“, expect a smashing set of the classics from top to bottom. Get your dancing boots ready mates, Que viva la Revolucion!”

Soundwave 2016 will also see the return of Terror Universal, who performed as a part of this year’s Soundwave Festival. The horror metal cannibals features members past and current from the likes of Machine Head, Soulfly, and Ill Niño.

Early bird tickets are now available via Soundwave Festival.
