In a recent interview with MTV's Metal File, Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D'Antonio let the cat out of the bag that the band is currently in writing mode and plans to being demoing in October, with a new release coming in early 2009, as well as a March headlining run. Mike explained the process:
"I'm one of those dudes who needs to write constantly, because I really suck at writing music with a deadline," D'Antonio said. "My brain gets fried, and I can't do anything, I just shut down completely. When we start on this next one, we'll just bring our demos to practice, and we'll listen to them, judge them and start rearranging the parts that need to be rearranged — or we just start jamming on what sounds cool."
Mike described the new stuff as fast and promised a little blast beating. I am intrigued. Speaking of Killswitch, we recently posted an MI Mixtape from 2005 featuring videos from the band as well as two hilarious interviews with Adam D and Howard. Check it out.
