"Justin Foley, the fire-maned skinsman for Killswitch Engage, has got one hell of a monstrous beard. You've no doubt seen it in the "Holy Diver" video (pictured above), but if you saw the band on tour recently you'd see that Foley's man-whiskers have grown to catastrophic proportions. As an aspiring beardo myself, I was thrilled to have the opportunity recently to interview Justin - exclusively about his beard - both for the sake of interesting MetalSucks content and for my own beard-growing aspirations. Trust me, these things don't just take care of themselves; lots of time and effort goes into keeping our face-pubes nice and healthy."

After the jump, Justin shares with Metalsucks.net the history and inspiration behind his beard, his beard heroes, the recent trend of beards in metal, beard grooming tips, and a whole lot more. It's every
beard-grower's dream.

New York, NY - 2007 has proven to be a sweet year for metal maestros Killswitch Engage. After headlining The Vans Warped Tour, getting awarded a Gold RIAA certification for 2004's The End of Heartache, and seeing "Holy Diver" crash into the Top 10 on the Active Rock charts, KsE kicked off December with two climactic wins at the Boston Music Awards. The band procured not only Outstanding Metal/Hardcore Band of the Year, but also took home Act of the Year, one of the biggest awards of the night.

Since the band is currently on a co-headlining tour with Lamb of God, they could not physically attend the ceremony, but did send a rhapsodic video acceptance speech from the road. Proving metalheads have hearts, too, they showed their gratification by donating an autographed guitar to be auctioned off for the benefit of the Music Drives Us Foundation, which helps keep music in the lives of unfortunate children.

Waving a fond farewell to 2007, Killswitch Engage will welcome the new year with a winter headlining tour with the hyperpowered Dillinger Escape Plan and Every Time I Die, and openers Parkway Drive (whose debut release was produced by Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz). The tour officially ensues January 9, in Allentown, PA and finishes in Hartford, CT on February 5.
