Killswitch Engage have been working on the follow-up to their 2019 release, Atonement, for quite some time but it seems that the band’s ninth full-length album should arrive next year.
Adam Dutkiewicz offered the following to Kerrang! about the progress of the new album:
“…We’ve been writing for quite some time now. Jesse [Leach, vocals] has been working out some lyric ideas and demos for the last few days, actually. We’ve got a lot of songs kind of rolling around right now. I’m thinking about getting back into the studio after this tour and getting to work, and I’m hoping we’d like to have the record done by the end of the year. But it might take a bit longer than that, so I would assume new music next year, for sure.”
The tour he is referring to is the band’s current run in Europe/UK. The remaining dates include:
08/10-13 Walton-On-Trent, UK – Bloodstock
