Mike D'Antonio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike D'Antonio is best known as the bassist and founder of Massachusetts Metalcore band Killswitch Engage.

D'Antonio's metal bass style is influenced by In Flames and Dark Tranquillity.

D'Antonio formed the band Killswitch Engage after the demise of his band Overcast in 1998.

All of Killswitch Engage's artwork and merchandise is designed by D'Antonio, who is a graphic artist. D'Antonio's company, DarkicoN, designs and produces artwork for bands such as Shadows Fall and Unearth.

In 2004, D'Antonio formed the band Late Night Crüe, a Mötley Crüe tribute act featuring vocalist Brian Fair of Shadows Fall, and Unearth guitarists Ken Susi and Buzz McGrath.

Addition: Having recently interviewed Mike D'Antonio, details about his association with Late Night Crue are inaccurate. He was asked to take part in the Mötley Crüe tribute band, but he was working on graphic work at the time for the New England metal and hardcore festival which he was unable to complete in time which meant he was unable to take part in the tribute band.
