According to a post on the band's Facebook page, Howard Jones is no longer the singer for Killswitch Engage: To our family, friends and fans: We have decided to continue on without Howard Jones as the singer of Killswitch Engage. We love Howard and are thankful for the nine years that we've had him in [...]

Well, here we are. As Metalsucks will be closing up for the year on December 16th, this article concludes an entire year writing Shit That Comes Out Today for Metalsucks. I’ll be posting an update with my first article of next year if anything comes out in the meantime worth checking out, but for now [...]

It's Tuesday, which may just be the shittiest day of the week. At least with Monday, you just had the weekend, but Tuesday is like as far as possible from the weekend. Thankfully, we have some new tunes to share... I'm really digging Kill Devil Hill, the new band which features former Down/Pantera bassist Rex Brown ...

It would seem that Killswitch Engage are getting ready to make a new album... which means that Times of Grace, the project from KsE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and former KsE vocalist Jesse Leach, are, at least for the time being, on hiatus... which means that Leach can now concentrate on his other project, The Empire Shall [...]

Times Of Grace The Hymn of a Broken Man Roadrunner Records 17 January 2011 by Raziq Rauf When Killswitch Engage catapulted themselves to the fore of the metalcore scene they’d helped create a decade ago, there was much promise. That pressure quickly told however, as vocalist/lyricist Jesse Leach left the band soon after their breakthrough, [...]

So The Hymn of a Broken Man, the debut album from Times of Grace, doesn't come out until January 18, but it's already leaked online. Now, obviously, an album leaking is nothing new in this day and age, but I had no idea about the leak - until vocalist Jesse Leach decided to vent about [...]

I feel like we've been hearing about Times of Grace, the new project that reunites original Killswitch Engage singer/current The Empire Shall Fall front man Jesse Leach with KSE's guitarist/producer/all-around goofball Adam Dutkiewicz, for some time; now the duo have announced a November 9 release date for their debut album, The Hymn of a Broken [...]

Chambers Tiger Flowers As mentioned in my previous post + interview with Tiger Flowers , The Empire Shall Fall (ex. Killswitch Engage), Chambers, and Tiger Flowers created a 'perfect storm' of heavy music at Dingbatz in Clifton on Friday evening. I got there at 8PM, the times doors were set to open to ensure that I wouldn't miss New York's finest, [...]

Photo: Brian Reilly This Friday, The Empire Shall Fall (ex. Killswitch Engage) and Chambers will be welcoming Tiger Flowers to the line-up at Ding Batz in Clifton, NJ . Tiger Flowers, natives of NYC and Upstate NY, will be bringing their unique brand of metal and hardcore to New Jersey. The band has been making a name for themselves in New York City with passionately staggering performances. The band will be invading New Jersey once again on July 15th at Asbury Lanes for those [...]

The weather is beautiful out, it's the weekend, and I have a ton of new albums to listen to. I'm gonna put some shit on my iPod, get stoned, go eat some ice cream, and crank some shit. It's a rough life, but someone's gotta lead it. Before I do that, here's a wrap-up of crap [...]

It was just yesterday that I couldn't get Jesse Leach to comment on the Killswitch Engage singer situation. And now, after weeks and weeks of speculation, KSE have just released a statement, officially announcing Howard Jones' departure from the band "due to personal reasons." No further details are given. That's a bummer, but given all the [...]

Photo by Will Hawkins. Check out more awesome pics from Jesse's gigs with KSE in NYC here. Jesse Leach has found himself back in the headlines a lot as of late: after Howard Jones dropped of off Killswitch Engage's recent tour amidst some pretty bizarre rumors, Leach briefly reunited with the band, much to the delight [...]

I've given Jesse Leach some shit in the past, mostly because I'm an asshole who just likes to bust balls. But he killed it while playing with KSE a couple of weeks back, and I actually dig his latest band, The Empire Shall Fall. So, y'know. Hugs all around. TESF just debuted their new video, "Lords [...]

Awaken, the new album from Empire Shall Fall (featuring original Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach), is now streaming in its entirety over at Metal Injection. I've been putting off listening to this album for a long time, but now that I am listening as I type this, I can safely say it's not what I [...]

Our friends over at Noisecreep have an interesting new interview with former Killswitch Engage front dude Jesse Leach. The gist of the interview is that he doesn't regret quitting the band seven years ago, just before they were launched into the metal stratosphere, and much prefers making less money and being in bands no one [...]
