Killswitch Engage release music video for ‘I Am Broken Too’

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have released a brand new music video!

The video, for latest single I Am Broken Too, is taken from the band’s upcoming album Atonement, which is scheduled for release in August.

The full-concept video was directed by Kyle Cogan and Zack Stauffer of SIMIAN.LA (A PERFECT CIRCLE, BREAKING BENJAMIN) and was shot in the Los Angeles area.

The band is also donating a portion of the proceeds from the song to Hope for the Day, a Chicago-based non-profit organisation that focuses on suicide prevention by providing outreach and mental health education through the use of music and art.

Speaking about the track, vocalist Jesse Leach says, “this song is very near and dear to my heart. I wanted the listener to feel the urgency, the heaviness of the topic as well as a possible connection. Many people suffer from mental illness in one form or another. I want nothing more than for people to feel like they are not alone in this struggle. There is always someone there to help, to listen, and to be there for you. Don’t lose hope and don’t let your brokenness consume you. Broken can be fixed, or at the very least, maintained. No one is alone in this fight.”

About the video, Leach adds, “the video is a reflection of real-life events that loved ones have gone through. Kyle Cogan and Zack Stauffer did an amazing job of bringing it all to life. The result is a powerful video that captures the essence and desperation of the song.”
