Killswitch Engage announce new album ‘This Consequence’
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have announced a new album!
Titled This Consequence, the upcoming album from the Massachusetts-based veteran metalcore band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Atonement, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Metal Blade Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Jesse Leach shares, “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. I think it’s the exact record we needed to make. I’m honoured and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Forever Aligned. Speaking about the new song, Leach shares, “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 world we live in could use a lot more connectivity.”
