Burn Eternal, the long-awaited project pairing Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz with the band’s former vocalist Howard Jones, have officially signed with Metal Blade Records.
The duo have been working on the project for several years and have now secured a label home as they prepare to finally unveil their completed debut album. According to the label’s announcement, new music from the project is expected to arrive ‘sooner than you’d think.’
Jones shared the following statement regarding the signing:
“We couldn’t be more excited to announce Burn Eternal joining forces with Metal Blade for our debut album. The whole team has been amazing, and we can’t wait to get this music out. From an idea while having lunch in London to a completed album, this has been such a fun way to reconnect with my friend. Burn Eternal lives!”
Dutkiewicz also expressed his enthusiasm about the project finally moving toward its public debut:
“I am wicked excited to finally be able to share my project with Howard with all of you! It feels great to be hanging with an old friend and making more music with him. We’re just two goofballs just dicking around in the studio again. We are also excited to be putting it out with the Metal Blade family. Mostly because they truly feel like family, not a corporation. Good vibes abound!”
Metal Blade founder and CEO Brian Slagel added:
“As a huge fan of both Howard and Adam, it is a huge honor to welcome Burn Eternal to the Metal Blade family! I am excited for everyone to hear the record! As a fan, I love it! This is going to be fun working with everyone!”
Jones previously fronted Killswitch Engage during one of the band’s most commercially successful periods before departing in 2012. Despite his exit, he has maintained a friendly relationship with the Massachusetts metalcore outfit, making guest appearances with the group both onstage and in the studio over the years.
The upcoming Burn Eternal release will mark a new chapter in the longtime friendship between Jones and Dutkiewicz, with further details on the album and its eventual release expected to emerge soon.
