January 30, 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.
January 6, 2012 A few days ago, the sad news that Killswitch Engage front man Howard Jones was parting ways with the band was announced, and it definitely sucks, for lack of a better term.

Killswitch Engage, the Grammy-nominated metalcore force of the 2000s has just announced the departure of vocalist Howard Jones. The powerful voice behind songs such as ‘Rose of Sharyn’ and ‘The End of Heartache’ will be off to pursue different goals outside of the band.
