Massachusetts metalcore kings Killswitch Engage have released a lyric video for, ‘Always’, the penultimate track on their sixth studio album, ‘Disarm the Descent’.
One of the most critically and commercially successful bands of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal which included Slipknot, Mastodon and Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage broke onto the scene in 2000 with their self-titled debut, and have since earned a reputation as one of metalcore’s most important acts.
‘Disarm the Descent’, released on April 2nd, is the bands first album since 2002’s ‘Alive or Just Breathing’ to feature original singer Jesse Leach.
Leach quit via email while Killswitch were touring, stating that the hectic schedule and separation from his wife had resulted in depression, and that he was finished with music. The band quickly recruited With Blood Has Been Shed frontman Howard Jones, who stayed with the band for nine years and three albums, before leaving in 2012, due to serious diabetes. Leach reconciled with his bandmates in 2005, performing alongside Jones at a Roadrunner anniversary show, and returned to Killswitch Engage in January 2012.
