Burn Eternal sign to Metal Blade Records

BURN ETERNAL, the new project featuring former KILLSWITCH ENGAGE bandmates Howard Jones and Adam Dutkiewicz, have signed with Metal Blade Records!

The announcement marks the first official reveal of the long-gestating collaboration between the vocalist and guitarist/producer, who were instrumental in shaping KILLSWITCH ENGAGE‘s most celebrated era between 2002 and 2012. The duo’s work together included landmark releases such as The End Of Heartache and As Daylight Dies, helping establish the foundations of modern metalcore.

Speaking about the signing, Jones says, “we couldn’t be more excited to announce BURN ETERNAL joining forces with Metal Blade for our debut album. The whole team has been amazing, and we can’t wait to get this music out. From an idea while having lunch in London to a completed album, this has been such a fun way to reconnect with my friend. BURN ETERNAL lives!”

Dutkiewicz adds, “I am wicked excited to finally be able to share my project with Howard with all of you! It feels great to be hanging with an old friend and making more music with him. We’re just two goofballs just dicking around in the studio again. We are also excited to be putting it out with the Metal Blade family. Mostly because they truly feel like family, not a corporation. Good vibes abound!”

Metal Blade Records founder and CEO Brian Slagel also comments, “as a huge fan of both Howard and Adam, it is a huge honor to welcome BURN ETERNAL to the Metal Blade family! I am excited for everyone to hear the record! As a fan, I love it! This is going to be fun working with everyone!”

While no music has been released yet, the band have confirmed that their debut album is complete and that the first material from the project will be unveiled soon.
