Adam Dutkiewicz Bio

Adam Jonathan Dutkiewicz is best known as one of the guitarists (along with Joel Stroetzel) and a backup vocalist from Massachusetts metalcore bands Killswitch Engage and Aftershock. Dutkiewicz attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he studied production, engineering, and bass guitar. While at college, he began playing in the band Aftershock with friend Joel Stroetzel. Stroetzel would later join Dutkiewicz, Mike D'Antonio, and Jesse Leach in forming Killswitch Engage. Dutkiewicz was the drummer of Killswitch Engage, until the release of its second album, Alive or Just Breathing, when he moved to guitars, and Tom Gomes became the band's drummer. He has assumed the role of producer on all of Killswitch Engage's records including the upcoming, second self-titled album, scheduled for release in spring 2009. He has also produced for the bands As I Lay Dying, Underøath, The Acacia Strain, Unearth, All That Remains, From Autumn to Ashes, Johnny Truant, Parkway Drive, The Agony Scene, Every Time I Die and others. He has been compared to Ross Robinson, producer of many Nu metal albums, because of his influence on modern metal and shaping the sound of Metalcore. He is also an engineer for Zing Studios, which has produced for numerous artists, including several from Tooth Nail Records and its heavy metal sub-label Solid State Records.
