Six years on from 2019’s Atonement, Killswitch Engage will be releasing This Consequence in February: “It’s the exact record we needed to make…”
Killswitch Engage have just announced their long-awaited new album, This Consequence.
The follow-up to 2019’s Atonement, the record is due out on February 21, 2025 via Metal Blade, with frontman Jesse Leach calling it “the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody’s ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn’t change anything about this album.
“I think it’s the exact record we needed to make,” he adds. “I’m honoured and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message.”
They’re showing what’s to come with new single Forever Aligned, which Jesse says is a song “that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God. It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of world we live in could use a lot more connectivity.”
