KILLSWITCH ENGAGE: New Video To Be Directed By LEX HALABY

October 6, 2006

New England metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have once again tapped Lex Halaby (MUDVAYNE, IN FLAMES) to direct the video for their new single, "My Curse". The clip is expected to be shot next week (October 14-15) in the Los Angeles area. "My Curse" is scheduled to go for radio adds around October 30.

In a recent interview with MTV.com, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz said that the band has been thumbing through dozens of video treatments for "My Curse", and so far all the treatments have been real stinkers.

"They've all got that paragraph that says, 'We will then pan to the band who'll be rocking out so hard it will be destroying the camera,' " Dutkiewicz said. "There's one that involves ninjas and martial arts. There's a circus-themed one, where this ugly crazy dude who's part of a traveling freak show takes his normal girlfriend to the rest of the freaks, and they disapprove of her. It's really bizarre stuff that doesn't make any sense at all."

Even the one Dutkiewicz refers to as "Piñata Man" doesn't seem to fit with "My Curse", but of all the video pitches they've perused, "it's the only one that's awesome. It involves this dude who's just a piñata and people are trying to steal his candy. I'm feeling 'Piñata Man' the most, for sure."

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's new album, "As Daylight Dies", is scheduled for release on November 21 via Roadrunner Records. Check out the song "Daylight Dies" at this location (Windows Media).
