The record

Title: Killswitch Engage – Alive Or Just Breathing
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2002, Metal, Metalcore, Westfield, MA
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Band Drama: Vocalist Jesse Leach left soon after this era due to mental health struggles; his exit shaped a major identity shift for the band.

  2. Scene Ecology: Built inside the Western Massachusetts hardcore/metal overlap—small venues and tight regional bands cross-pollinating constantly.

  3. Media Narrative: The album’s long afterlife turned it into a “gateway” title for metalcore, often cited in debates about what the genre even means.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
