The 12-track album by Killswitch Engage is the follow up to 2009's self-titled release. DISARM THE DESCENT is the band's first album with original singer Leach at the vocal helm since 2002's now classic, genre-defining Alive or Just Breathing. Leach returned to the band in January 2012 after a decade-long absence.
Disarm The Descent was selected by Alternative Press magazine for its “Most Anticipated Albums of 2013” issue and the band was profiled in Guitar World as one to watch in 2013. Clearly buzz from fans and the metal and hard rock community regarding new Killswitch Engage remains deafening.
