Midweek figures suggests the Massachusetts five-piece's eighth studio LP will land in the top three of the ARIA Albums chart and challenge for top spot against Slipknot and Ed Sheeran's No 6 Collaborations Project.

Killswitch Engage's highest chart placing in Australia came with 2016's Incarnate which peaked at #5. Check out our recent chat with Killswitch vocalist Jesse Leach here.

Other debuting albums set to crack the chart this Saturday include King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's Infest The Rat's Nest (top ten), the Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood soundtrack, Sleater-Kinney's The Center Won't Hold (both top 20), Press Club's Wasted Energy (top 30) and A$AP Ferg's Floor Seats (top 50).

Over on the Singles chart, burgeoning Australian artist Tones & I will look to take her reign on top of the list to four weeks with Dance Monkey, after the Byron Bay-based songwriter last week became the first local female solo act to top the chart for at least three weeks since 2008.

Debuting tracks on the Singles chart this week include's Taylor Swift's Lover (top 20) and Miley Cyrus's Slide Away (top 30).
