Killswitch Engage: Pro-Shot footage of new song available!

Professionally filmed video footage of Massachusetts metallers Killswitch Engage performing a brand new song, "Light in a Darkened World", at the first annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards, which was held on Tuesday, April 7 in Los Angeles, can be viewed below. The song, sandwiched between "My Curse" and the band's uniquely Killswitch'ed cover of Dio's classic anthem "Holy Diver", generated plenty of excitement among the crowd and set the tone for the show. The awards and Killswitch Engage's performance was broadcast on MTV2 on May 2.

"Light in a Darkened World" will be included on the band's eagerly anticipated fourth album, entitled simply "Killswitch Engage", which is scheduled for release on June 30 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was produced by Brendan O'Brien (AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine) and co-produced by guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz. Other song titles set to appear on the album include "Reckoning", "The Forgotten" and "Starting Over".

Commented vocalist Howard Jones: "It was time for us to step outside of our comfort zone and try something a little different with this record. It definitely still sounds like us, but we needed to be refreshed and take things a little further."

Regarding the fact that Killswitch Engage's new album is the second self-titled effort of the band's career, Jones said, "When we all couldn’t agree on an album title, someone suggested we just keep it self-titled and we all pretty much agreed…gives it the feeling of a fresh new beginning."

Here’s the footage:
