Killswitch
Engage bassist Mike D’Antonio has offered this brief little update on where the
band stands with a new album.
“Killswitch
should be in the studio in February/March, so expect a summer 2012 release for
the new record,” states the bassist in a web post. “We have a bit of a breather
in the writing schedule so Adam [Dutkiewicz, guitar] can finish [producing] the
Shadows Fall record, but as of now we have eight demos finished for the new
record. Everything is coming together nicely at the moment… My demos are pretty
fast. Blast beats, anyone?”
Only last
week, I was talking with a friend about Killswitch and what direction they’ll
go with the album. With 2009’s self-titled behind them, I felt the band needed
to go in a heavier direction, and write possibly their heaviest and darkest
album yet (dark in Killswitch terms). And this bit of news sounds promising,
regarding the blastbeats. The whole modern American metal thing is so bloated
so one of its pioneers in KSE needs to make a standout record, and after all,
Killswitch have always delivered the goods and been miles ahead of their peers.
