What’s up guys! Brand new track review for ya today!
So as of this week, Massachusetts Metalcore veterans Killswitch Engage have officially announced album number eight (and album number three since original vocalist Jesse Leach rejoined the band). It’s titled Atonement (yes, like the killer Immolation album from two years ago), and it’s coming later this summer! The LP will feature guest appearances from Testament frontman Chuck Billy (which I’m especially curious to hear!), and none other than former KSE singer Howard Jones.
And on Tuesday, Killswitch kicked off the rollout for Atonement by unveiling its lead single and opening track, “Unleashed”. Being the longtime Killswitch listener that I am, I couldn’t resist chiming in, offering my thoughts on the song, and making more jokes at the expense of the band’s awful 2009 self-titled record, which happens to turn ten years old this Sunday.
Atonement will drop August 16th via Metal Blade Records. In other words, in 51 days. Mark your calendars and look out for my full review! In the meantime, here are my thoughts on “Unleashed”:
