Congrats are in order, as Killswitch Engage and Bring Me the Horizon are carrying the metal banner quite capably on this week's Billboard 200 album chart.
Although Jesse Leach has been killing it with Killswitch Engage ever since his return to the band last year, it's safe to say that the voice of Howard Jones is sorely missed in the rock world. Jones left Killswitch Engage so he could manage his Type 2 Diabetes more efficiently, among other reasons. He has been jamming with his old math core band Blood Has Been Shed, but now it's been reported that Jones is working on yet another project with members of All Shall Perish and Devolved.
Killswitch Engage's reunion with former vocalist Jesse Leach is off to a rocking start thanks to the newly unleashed single, 'In Due Time.' The band officially posted the track online Wednesday (Jan. 30), giving their fans a taste of what the upcoming 'Disarm the Descent' album will sound like.
Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach has joined forces with Chicago non-profit organization 'Hope for the Day' and Alternative Press magazine to release their latest video segment of 'Music Saved My Life.' In the video, Leach goes in-depth about the positive emotional impact that music had on his life, especially during the darkest of times.
Killswitch Engage have announced that their new album will be titled ‘Disarm the Descent’ and will hit stores on April 2. This disc is the band’s sixth album, but first with original lead singer Jesse Leach since 2002's ‘Alive or Just Breathing.’
There are a lot of interested ears just ready to latch onto to anything from Killswitch Engage after the return of former singer Jesse Leach, but guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz is quick to point out that the band's one leaked track, 'No End in Sight,' does not truly represent their new album.
While metal sometimes gets a reputation for being being angry and unforgiving, Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach recently took to his personal Facebook page to write a lengthy entry titled ‘My Fight Against Hatred,’ encouraging fans to share his words with others.
Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach was the guest on Full Metal Jackie’s radio show this past weekend.

February 8, 2012 Last night I posted a blog about ex-Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach rejoining the band after a decade apart to replace Howard Jones, who announced his departure from the band early last month. Today, the quintet officially released a statement confirming Leach's position as singer of the band, and guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz gives us his insight on the reunion.
February 7, 2012 It's been about a month since Massachusetts quintet (current quartet) Killswitch Engage announced that long time vocalist Howard Jones would be leaving the band, and so far they have been hush-hush about a replacement. However, former front man Jesse Leach hinted that he might be reuniting with the band after a decade apart. Today, it was visually confirmed that the rumors are true- Leach has rejoined the band.
