KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Reveal Details For 'Alive Or Just Breathing' 10th Anniversary Tour!

'Alive or Just Breathing' was released on May 21, 2002 via Roadrunner Records, and it is the second studio album by New England Metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE! 'Alive or Just Breathing' was the bands debut album on Roadrunner and was recorded from October 2001 to February 2002.
