Killswitch Engage Writing New Matrial

After the 2010 Download Festival, Killswitch Engage took a break from the road, and its members pursued other interests. Adam Dutkiewicz formed the band Times Of Grace with former Killswitch Engage lead vocalist Jesse Leach and released the debut album "The Hymn Of A Broken Man" on January 18, 2011. Along with Dutkiewicz and Leach, Times Of Grace added Joel Stroetzel to their tour lineup. Justin Foley provided the drum tracking for the band Unearth on their new album "Darkness In The Light", released on July 5, 2011. Foley will also travel with the band for their 2011 summer tour. D'Antonio started the hardcore band Death Ray Vision, with Shadows Fall vocalist Brian Fair and former Killswitch Engage guitarist Pete Cortese.

In an interview with Gun Shy Assassin, Mike D'Antonio has stated that the band is currently in the works for a sixth album. D'Antonio stated, "Currently, everyone is individually writing demos for the next Killswitch Engage record. There is no release date yet, but I would assume it will be out early 2012."

On August 26, 2011 Adam Dutkiewicz anounced on the Killswitch Engage Facebook that they had began to write for their 6th album and thanked all their fans for being so patient. He wrote "YO! Its Adam D! We're about to begin writing our new record. Thanks to all of our fans for waiting so friggin' patiently... Now let's turn on the "riff faucet" and RAGE!"

I like Killswitch.

[Ghefly]

Woah. NEW MATRIAL. Awesome. Great proof-reading.

P.S, I love KSE and want this new MATERIAL to be awesome (as it probably will).

[Zero-Hartman]

I love new matrial!

[srvrules]

This is great news. I really enjoyed the last album and thought they were hanging it up. Glad to see Howard back. What a great start to the day!!!!

[pailoong]

Holy hell... not to be insulting, but I forgot all about these guys. Not like "oh, they're in the back of my mind". I mean I literally forgot about them. I was obsessed with them when I heard the song "Rose of Sharyn". Can't wait to hear the new MATERIAL!

[srvrules]

But, they need new editors.

[mobydick246]

Hahahahaha, "New Matrial". I guess proofreading isn't a big priority anymore!

[xicetraex]

New matrial is the best!!1

[Lion_Slicer]

Their most recent album was so forgettable. It's funny because it seems like everything Adam D has been doing lately BESIDES Killswitch has been awesome.

[ordinary_story]

Will always have a soft spot for these guys even if their new stuff is pretty bland.

[MikeBTE]

if they keep writing crap like their self titled album, I much rather them continue times of grace. their album was so awesome.

[Jon777]

Times of Grace > KsE

Looking forward to this, though.

[Spich]

hooo yeah

[JB95]

About time.
Been ages since last album.

[Loki_37]

So what are we at now, End Of Heartache pt. 4?
Not seriously, I hope they either just go back to the metalcore beauty that was Daylight Dies, or move on to something different. Self-titled was basically just a more mainstream DD. Ugh.

[mashizz]

hey, as long as they have those trademark squealies, i'm down for a listen

[stiklyman]

The middle guy in the picture on the front guy looks a little bit like a skinny Hetfield.

[BwareDWare94]

After producing The Powerless Rise and Darkness in the Light, I sure hope Adam D told the boys they need to step it up.

The last three albums have sounded too similar, though. I still love you guys and wish you the best of the luck.

"Killswitch Engage Writing New Matrial"

Really UG? fail

[jetfuel495]

Man, the last KSE album was soooo bad. I used to really like these guys. I guess I'll have to see what they come up with this time, hopefully it won't sound like their last album.

Times of Grace sounded like what KSE would have become if Jesse stayed in. Still much better than the last KSE record.

[Zelos45]

I just want them to write new songs... Not new matrial. I don't even know what that is... D:

[benjamin-wright]

Thank God! Ive been waiting for quite a while for some new KSE!

[DimebagZappa]

That is fantastic. KSE needs more fans like you.

[tume]

Wee!! Good job! Can't wait to hear more from KsE!

[crazysam23_Atax]

Good! I want more KsE.

[Slaiest]

It's one thing for the the typo in the story.
But when you have it as the front page headline, Come on.
Get your shit together UG.

On topic, KsE is awesome. Can't wait.

[carrion666]

can't wait to hear the new stuff!

[RequiemofDemons]

Best news to wake up too ever!!! Cant wait

I love getting on UG and reading dummies correct the spelling in articles above and beyond discussing content at all. This is an online-based news site that is FREE... not g0ddamned Rolling Stone. P.S. You misspelled "whoa", you fat c0ck.

[fifopher]

.....aaaand, I'm looking forward to new Killswitch

[Charlie4]

I'm a Fan of KSE but as was mentioned, their previous album was pretty stale imo. These guys should try and push themselves creatively and not sink into familiarity like last time - pretty much what Children of Bodom did. (different genre same example). An album even better than End of Heartache would be awesome, not counting on it though.

[Creep_C-1]

Jesse >>>>> Howard

Well. It isn't free if your paying for UG+ :p It's a tough sell when you miss elementary spelling mistakes on the front page of your site lol.

[JakeFreeman256]

New material would be sick. But hey, new matrial could be even better. I like Killswitch.

[Kevin19]

I think KSE is a pretty cool guy. Eh releases new matrial and doesn't afraid of anything.

[The_Sophist]

I personally know the author of this article, and he is ashamed of himself for the typo. He was in an accident earlier this year and recieved a small amount of brain damage, so why don't you stop being *******s and just enjoy the article.

[Amito]

awesome, can't wait for it

It is what is. I would have figured UG to edit any typos before posting it...whatever.

Same feeling. It sounded like everything else that was around at the time, pretty much a sellout album.

This new one is going to be one of the many many albums I will gladly download before I buy this year...been a cheap year for me album wise...

[drooce]

I hope its as good as the times of grace album. the last KSE album was kind of a dissapointment.

[Lost Dog]

My favorite album is "As Daylight Dies". I hope they do something similar to that for the new album.

[zomgwtfhaxx]

the last KsE album was terrible because they didnt let Adam d produce it, without him running the show it took on a crap angle. Times of grace was effectively what the last KsE album was meant to be.

My thoughts exactly.

[BadOmen502]

Suck just like the title's spelling..

[Cazman]

"Hahahahaha, "New Matrial". I guess proofreading isn't a big priority anymore!"

It never was.

[rebornmaster9]

i want a riff faucet...

[Feverrush]

[HarrySound]

Times of grace > KsE.
I'd love to see Times Of Grace become somethign a bit more solid.

[slipknotnskullz]

Umm, Metalcore = no new material, ever. Just old shit all over again.

[Wall_of_sound]

Alive or Just Breathing and The End of Heartache were awesome back in the day, but pretty much everything else sucks bar a couple of songs here and there. Metalcore is pretty much dead and buried like Nu metal haha

[m4ss3 m/]

Even though the last album wasn't their best I'm more than happy to here what are they going to do this time. And an album always leads into a tour so this time I'm making sure I will see them live. =)

[colster6000]

looking forward to this, Adam D has a great sense of humour

"Check out our sweet notage"

Unfortunate as it is but how is his accident or the subsequent injuries anything to do with a typo....? If you're saying his brain damage is the reason he made a spelling mistake I would expect to see a lot more in the article...but I don't. Are you just trying to generate sympathies so you can swear at people for "being *****s"?

[Gibson_SG_uzr55]

The last album sucked but I will give this a listen, KSE are awesome, metalcore is awesome. I don't care if it sounds the same.

[Todd Hart]

The awkward moment when you realise you're a journalist who can't proof-read.
