Killswitch Engage was on track to record and release their Metal Blade Records debut album in 2018, right up until vocalist Jesse Leach required emergency vocal cord surgery. The band put the new record and touring plans on hold immediately and eventually returned to tracking again last July. Since then we've found out that Killswitch Engage has recruited ex-vocalist Howard Jones to guest on a song, and that they recorded 17 songs for the new album. Not all of 'em are going to be on there though, so it seems like that there will be more Killswitch Engage coming after the new record hit shelves.
But when the hell is the album is coming out? Well, up to now we didn't have an answer. Thankfully via Killswitch Engage's Instagram and a gigantic banner, we've been informed the new record will be out sometime this fall. No name or specific date has been given, but it's nice to know that the record is coming!
