It’s been rumored for quite some time that Light The Torch would be supporting Killswitch Engage‘s upcoming spring headlining tour along with August Burns Red. Light The Torch, previously known as Devil You Know, features ex-Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones, whom did guest vocals on Killswitch Engage‘s latest album, “Atonement” on the track “The Signal Fire“. The track was given a music video featuring Jones, as well, which you can see below.
Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach commented on the announcement:
“We are excited to bring out Light The Torch, first of all, because they are a killer band. Obviously, having Howard out with us allows us to make this a tour to remember. I’ve always respected Howard as a singer, but in recent years, he’s become a friend. So it means more to me now than it would have in the past.
We are happy to see him back up on the good foot and singing his heart out again in top form. With both August Burns Red and Light The Torch, there will be no punches pulled. Just a killer lineup. Fans won’t want to miss this tour. You will want to come early and stay late. All hails.”
Jones added:
“We are truly excited to be a part of the Atonement Tour with KsE and ABR. This one has it all — old friends, new music, good times. Forget the world for a night and come hang out with three bands that want to make memories with you!”
