Three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock icons and platinum-selling act Killswitch Engage — featuring Jesse Leach (vocals), Adam Dutkiewicz (guitar), Joel Stroetzel (guitar), Mike D’Antonio (bass), and Justin Foley (drums) — are excited to unveil their upcoming album, “This Consequence”. The record is set to drop on February 21 through Metal Blade Records.
The band has also shared the video for first single “Forever Aligned”.
Leach explains: “‘Forever Aligned’ is one of those songs that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God. It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of the world we live in could use a lot more connectivity.”
Leach continues: “This Consequence, to me, is the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody’s ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn’t change anything about this album.”
And finishes: “I think it’s the exact record we needed to make. I’m honored and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message”.
