August Burns Red is amazing, and they remind me of KsE

Sonic Syndicate perhaps.

Killswitch Engage is a GOOD band. He wants something similiar to that, which leads to another GOOD band.

Avenged Sevenfold is most definately NOT a GOOD band. So no x) Have a nice day x)

Both bands have members that used to be in the same band as members of KSE.

Also, try...

Mercenary, Bleeding Through, and Unearth...

Bleeding Through is great, but I don't know if Killswitch has anything in common with them really...

I know a lot of people who compare Kill Switch Engage with As I Lay Dying. Personally I've never really listened to Kill Switch Engage, (not that I don't like them, just haven't heard much of their music) but As I Lay Dying, in my opinion, is good.

I think Dragonforce is a pretty cool guy, eh plays fast and doesn't afraid of anything.

No, the albums before City of Evil were actually good. Now they just suck.

I love all of them. Well, Atreyu isnt very good now but on the Blood And Mascara album (I dont know if thats the right name) they were awesome.

I wouldnt say Atreyu and UnderOath are similiar though.

The new All That Remains album that released yesterday is simply amazing. And Trivium's new album is hitting the shelves next week and its DEFINITELY going to be the greatest metal album ever made (the full album was leaked on youtube)

Waking the Fallen is, IMO, one of the greatest metal albums out there. AS's new album is terrible though. Not metal at all, more like pop

I one word for this suggestion POSER. Atreyu (sucks) Bullet for my valentine (sucks) both with exception of there first albums and a couple of songs on the second, and Underoath really sucks. These bands are borderline EMO man get real. But you should try out, In Flames, the Sorrow, Early 36 Crazyfists, Caliban, Darkest hour, Times of Grace (obviously its got adam and Jesse), Motograter, Five Finger Death Punch, maybe children of Bodom (especcially the britney spears cover, sounds nothing like KSE just funny), Machine Head, Mudvayne, and Still Remains (only the first album though the rest really went down hill). Hope this helps.

I can't think of anyone that sounds a lot like KSE, but a good place to start would be with other Massachusetts metalcore bands like All That Remains, Diecast, Shadows Fall, etc.

Just type Killswitch Engage into an internet radio site and you'll find something.
