The metalcore group Killswitch Engage has a highly anticipated new album coming out this year and now their label, Roadrunner Records, has finally lifted the veil a little on this release. They have announced Disarm The Descent as the title of their sixth album. The 12-track output is due out on April 2nd via Roadrunner and is the follow-up to their 2009's self-titled release. You can see the tracklist below.
The first single, titled "In Due Time," will be made available digitally on February 5th and the album pre-orders will kick off in early February, with more details to be unveiled.
Disarm The Descent is the band's first album with original singer Leach at the vocal helm since 2002's band classic Alive Or Just Breathing. Leach returned to the band in January 2012 after a decade-long absence.
Jesse Leach said about the new album: "It is with a grateful spirit that we prepare for this record's release. From the music, to the lyrics, to the artwork, we are all proud of what we have accomplished. To me this is by far my best vocal performance, much thanks to Adam's guidance and faith in my abilities. I am very grateful to be where I am in life, back in an amazing band with a record we are all excited for the world to hear. Thanks to all the fans for their warm welcome back and their undying love for Killswitch Engage."
I get so sick and tired of this kind of talk. Bill, relax dude. People’s tastes are different, deal with it. Just because you think the album is going to be sub-par doesn’t mean everybody else does. Personally, I loved the Times of Grace debut. I think Jesse is a hell of a frontman and is way more versatile than Howard. I’m not saying I think Howard sucks and I’m not trying to turn this into a vocalist war because that shit has become tired. The bottom line is, if you think the album is going to suck as a whole because you read a few reviews and heard two songs and an unfinished demo, that’s your problem. If people want to think that this is going to be the best KsE record of all time, what does it matter to you? I’m quite looking forward to it myself.
And when the hell is this thing going to leak?
I don’t care if this album fails to innovate. I’ll love it no matter what, because I love Killswitch Engage. It isn’t circlejerk worship, I’m just a fan of the band and the music they make.
I don’t care who sings for the band. I love Howard just as much as Jesse. They’re both great singers, but of course that’s a matter of opinion.
I’m laughing at the people who are saying they aren’t innovating enough, because these same people are probably gonna buy the next Slayer album. Which will guarantee’d sound like everything else they’ve put out.
It’s music, everyone should stop taking it so seriously.
Hey. Everyone arguing about which singer is better.. Shut. the hell. up. If Jesse upsets you then stop listening to Killswitch Engage. He’s not coming back.
Howard is not coming back*
You guys should all write magazine columns. It’s hugely entertaining watching you argue.
I dont give a shit what anyone else says.
St Anger is the best BMTH album ever!
I hate Slayer :)
I don’t give a fuck to Slayer, St.Anger and BMTH
I’m waiting the new KSE album.
I’m sort of suspicious. Howard originally left because of his health and because he didn’t “have his heart” into music anymore. Then he goes and starts other musical workings? And Jesse returned.
It seems like the band (after Times of Grace and the mid-failure of the 2009 KSE album) might have wanted Jesse back and Howard was flat out willingly replaced.
It’s on Usenet as of noon today. Anyone who has Usenet get a fucking move on! It’s on my touch as I type. Fucking sitting back with a twelve pack rocking the fuck out!
Holy shit is this killer! Fucking sounds like modern metal massacre mixed in with classic fucking chugga chugga.
LIES!
what is usenet? never heard of it.
What nzb search? Not on binsearch or nzbindex
Thanks man, downloading now!
Link it, or send me in mp.
Maybe it’s hard to see with those undies on your head. Put down the halo 4 and the extreme Mountain Dew and get laid some time this century.
Bill I’ve searched every usenet search engine and can’t find it anywhere. Can you point is in the right direction?!
What?
Where the fuck this guys are downloading?
Also got off usenet. Some newsgroups have blocked it already with dmca’s like giganews and news hosting but it still up on others. It’s killer.
Thanks for the heads up!
Bill is a cocksmoker, take nothing he says seriously.
Hey son I put the child support check in your moms account. Just because you we’re birthed from my jizz sliming its way into her crack doesn’t mean you can talk to me like that. Say how is the cum receptacle doing anyway?
dayummmmmmmmmmm
holy fuck
A mum joke? wow dude, you’re so clever and funny and original…
Checked usenet. No dice. I’ll keep waiting.
Yep found it on usenet. I few dmca notices but its on there depending on which newsreader your using.
Don’t use gig@new$ that the hoster who has pulled it down.
Ban this motherfucker, pls!
Sorry guys. I like to take it in the butt, and I wasn’t getting any from my dad, so I took my frustrations out on you all.
Really sorry about that. It wont happen again.
I love Justin Bieber btw.
Still has not leaked…..COME ON ALREADY!
I really want this album to leak
On itunes it says it will be released on the 29th (in australia) so if it releases here on that day, the album will appear everywhere online
If it does not appear online during that time but it is out here, i’ll be sure to leak it for you guys :)
thanks lee
some of you has compared KsE with BMTH.That is not fair.BMTH is nowhere near KsE.do not judge a band by hype or number of fans.
I wish it would leak already, There isn’t that long to go.. I remember AILD’s Awakened leaked like 15 days early.
They’ve been getting really tight on the leaks… Sevendust’s new album is released this Tuesday and it didn’t even leak until yesterday
This is deff not gonna leak adam d is deff on top of this shit…
