The wait is over! After six years, Killswitch Engage has announced their new record This Consequence for February 21. The band is now streaming the first single "Forever Aligned", which I assure everyone that hasn't hit play yet is a brutal one.
"When you find someone who won't give up on you, forge a friendship, or have a family member who makes you a better person, you realize what love actually is," said Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach. "I think true love is far beyond human comprehension. We have glimpses of it, but we'll never grasp it. When you're striving to be filled with love, it's a selfless path. It's a spiritual connection; it transcends life and death. The energy of love moves on eternally, so you're forever aligned with who you love."
"Even with all of the brutality, the hook is right up there with some of our best," added Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D'Antonio. "We felt like it was the perfect song to introduce this chapter and show we're ready to go."
Pre-orders for This Consequence are available here. Killswitch Engage also recently announced a North American tour starting on March 5 with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For A King, and Frozen Soul as support. Get those dates below and get your tickets for the trek right here.
