Killswitch Engage are currently traversing the US on a co-headline tour with Clutch. Tickets for both events go on sale today. The band will also perform a special intimate show at The Space in Las Vegas the day before, on August 13.
Fans can purchase the album to get guaranteed admission and a limited-edition "Live at Amoeba" poster. KsE have also announced an exclusive in-store performance on August 14 at 5 PM, PT at Amoeba Music Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. Hope for the Day has been working with KsE on breaking the silence around mental health since 2014, and we couldn't be more excited to continue working with them on raising the visibility of resources in our communities." "We know that by talking about our experiences, we are able to relate and be encouraged to ask for help. "'I Am Broken Too' is a song that truly encompasses what we need to be doing in society, talking about what we have been through," Boucher says. I'm honored to have them on our team for this song and this movement to continue to raise awareness and keep the conversation going for mental health issues." I think it coincides with #IamBrokenToo perfectly! Johnny Boucher and his organization are out spreading the powerful message of connectivity and solidarity in this fight for understanding mental health issues. The phrase and the hashtag #ItsOkNotToBeOk is a simple yet powerful statement. I admire their tireless efforts to spread mental awareness and suicide prevention. Regarding the decision to work with Hope for the Day, Leach says, "I personally chose Hope for the Day to be the organization we partner with for this song. Broken can be fixed, or at the very least, maintained. Don't lose hope and don't let your brokenness consume you.
There is always someone there to help, to listen, and to be there for you. I want nothing more than for people to feel like they are not alone in this struggle. Many people suffer from mental illness in one form or another. "I wanted the listener to feel the urgency, the heaviness of the topic as well as a possible connection. "This song is very near and dear to my heart," Leach explains. The band is donating a portion of the proceeds from the song to Hope For The Day, a Chicago-based non-profit organization that focuses on suicide prevention by providing outreach and mental health education through the use of music and art. The song appears on the band’s eighth album, Atonement, out August 16 via Metal Blade Records (North America) and Music For Nations (Europe). A lyric video, which features singer Jesse Leach’s handwritten lyrics, can be seen below. Killswitch Engage have just shared the new song, "I Am Broken Too". It was cool to have their two voices together harmonizing. Howard crushed it and he sounded great on the track as always. Our singer Jesse Leach said we should have him sing on the new album. On former singer Howard Jones' guest vocals on the new song "Signal Fire"įoley: "We had run into Howard Jones recently at a couple of shows and hung out. We all heard it and said it was perfect, Chuck Billy crushed it." Then one day he just emailed us back with him tracking the vocals. We had done a tour with them years ago so we knew him, so we sent him the song but we didn't hear anything back for some time.
On Testament's Chuck Billy's guest vocals on the song "Crownless King"įoley: "When we had the song finished, I think it was guitarist Joel Stoetzel that suggested that Chuck Billy's voice would sound awesome over this song. It's not the kind of thing we would go into thinking about but if the songs came out that way we would do it." On the possibility of doing an all clean vocals albumįoley: "We would never rule anything out.
