Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage Reveals Secrets Behind Songwriting for Latest Album

Killswitch Engage, the well-known hard rock band, has exciting news for fans – they have a new album on the way! This Consequence is set to be released on February 21 through Metal Blade.

Recently, vocalist Jesse Leach sat down with Finland’s Chaoszine to discuss the upcoming album. He shared that the record features a mix of songs that don’t necessarily have a positive ending, which he believes is an important aspect of the work. According to Leach, it’s vital to put out music that feels therapeutic, whether or not it has a positive message.

On the other hand, there is a track on the album called “I Believe” that is filled with optimism. Leach explains that he wrote this song from a place of hopefulness and positivity, and it serves as a nice contrast to the more introspective tracks on the record.

The band has already released a video for the first single, “Forever Aligned,” which Leach describes as a song about connection – not only between humans but also with a higher power or the universe. He believes that in today’s world, fostering more connections is essential.

Leach goes on to share that This Consequence is a culmination of the band’s experiences over the past five years. He views the album as a collaborative effort, where everyone’s input and ideas have come together to create something truly special. He expresses pride and gratitude for the work they have put into this project.

For fans looking to pick up a copy, This Consequence will be available on CD, LP, and digital/streaming platforms. There are also various vinyl variants to choose from, depending on your location and preferences.

With a tracklist that includes songs like “Abandon Us,” “Forever Aligned,” and “Broken Glass,” This Consequence promises to be a diverse and impactful album for Killswitch Engage fans. And based on Leach’s comments, it’s clear that the band is excited to share this music with the world.
