Killswitch Engage are set to release their new album, This Consequence, on February 21 via Metal Blade. The band—Jesse Leach (vocals), Adam Dutkiewicz (guitar), Joel Stroetzel (guitar), Mike D’Antonio (bass), and Justin Foley (drums)—just shared a video for the single “I Believe.”
“‘I Believe’ is about undying hope,” vocalist Jesse Leach explains. “During difficult times perspective is everything. Knowing deep down that ‘this too shall pass’ has been a beacon of light for me. I do believe there is meaning behind suffering. If we are able to push through difficult times and come out the other side, there is a renewed sense of purpose.”
He continues, “I know there are much more commonalities between all of us as humans than there are differences. The good far outweighs the bad. This is my message to anyone who’s listening—things will get better! However, you have to believe that they will! There is power in faith, there is power in manifestation and prayer! Keep the faith and push forward with the confidence of better days ahead. Do not let this world pull you down into despair. Tomorrow is a new day and a new possibility for change!”
The band will return to the road in March and April for a headline tour with support from Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King, and Frozen Soul.
Dates begin on March 5 in Nashville and conclude on April 12 in Portland, Maine. In May, they will embark on another run that includes Shadows Fall, Fit for a King, and Boundaries.
Festival appearances are set for May 8 at Sonic Temple and May 16 at Welcome To Rockville. Tickets and VIP packages are available now.
