Tom Gomes is a former drummer for the metalcore bands Aftershock, Catchthirteen, and Killswitch Engage. He joined Killswitch Engage after the completion of the recording of their 2002 record, Alive or Just Breathing, and participated in the Road Rage UK tour of 2002 and the Ozzfest of 2003, after which he left the band and was replaced by Blood Has Been Shed drummer Justin Foley. Gomes was with the band during the departure of former vocalist Jesse Leach and the entry of his replacement, Howard Jones, and also participated in the writing of the song When Darkness Falls. He is now in the rock band Something Of A Silhouette. Differing from his hardcore roots in Aftershock and Killswitch Engage, Something Of A Silhouette sounds more melodic and dark. His girlfriend Sara Saffery sings in the band as well. He also started a project with former Aftershock vocalist Toby Dutkiewicz, who is Adam Dutkiewicz's brother as well as the owner of Devil's Head Recordings. This project is more similar to Gomes previous metalcore acts. Tom Gomes also appears as a guest drummer for 36 Crazyfists album Rest Inside the Flames on the song We Cannot Deny.
