Pioneering metallers Killswitch Engage continue to push the envelope 16 years on, as demonstrated by this year's Incarnate, and new Blu-ray release Beyond The Flames: Home Video Vol II details the band's dramatic journey.

In the exclusive short-but-sweet clip above, guitarist Joel Stroetzel sits down with an acoustic guitar before discussing playing music for a living and the band's legacy.

Beyond The Flames chronicles the return of original vocalist Jesse Leach, the band's early years and features live footage galore.

The release is out on 9 December via Roadrunner UK and available to preorder from Amazon.
