SPEED frontman Jem Siow joined Killswitch Engage at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Friday, November 6th, stepping up for ‘My Last Serenade’ during the band’s Australian tour.
The hometown guest spot paired Siow with Jesse Leach on a song from Killswitch Engage’s 2002 album, Alive Or Just Breathing, Alex Mills shared footage of the performance on Instagram, with The PRP picking up the clip over the weekend.
‘My Last Serenade’ has been closing shows on this run, including the band’s recent stop at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall.
As documented in our Brisbane review and gallery, Leach went crowd surfing and guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz took his playing into the audience during an 18-song set that finished with ‘My Curse’ and ‘My Last Serenade’.
Sydney’s version came with an extra vocalist who has spent much of the past few years taking his own city’s hardcore scene abroad.

SPEED released their debut album, Only One Mode, through Flatspot Records and Last Ride Records in July 2024, following it with the three-track All My Angels EP last October. Between those releases, the band played Coachella and toured the US supporting Turnstile.
All My Angels dealt with the loss of three close friends, with producer Elliott Gallart recording and mixing the EP at The Chameleon Studios. Its title-track video featured friends and family from the Australian hardcore community alongside connections made overseas.
For Killswitch Engage, there are four Australian shows left on the itinerary, with Sylosis and Heists joining them for the remaining dates. The run continues at Melbourne’s Forum tonight, before a sold-out second performance on Tuesday.
