Killswitch Engage interview in Decibel Magazine!

Killswitch Engage interview in Decibel Magazine!

Killswitch Engage's enigmatic frontman Howard Jones opens up about the blood and guts of the upcoming self-titled new album with Decibel.

Here’s a part of the interview…

Decibel: Tell me a little bit about your second self-titled effort. What are you doing differently and why did you decide to self title another record?

Howard Jones: The first self-titled record we put out was really an EP. It had seven or eight songs. It came out on Ferret. We really tried to make some changes without completely changing everything. We’re not going to be a pop band or anything. We’re also not going to be Necrophagist. We are who we are. We felt the need to push things. The songwriting, the vocal delivery, the lyrics. It was time to push. We really wanted to go as far as we can with what we do. Some people enjoy what we do. Some people don’t like the verse, chorus, verse, chorus thing. That’s called song structure. [Laughs] Considering we went with an outside producer for the first time, it’s like let’s just call it Killswitch Engage. There it is. It’s not a real big deal. We tossed things around. Some things were good. Some weren’t. In the end, it’s just Killswitch Engage.

Decibel: Can we expect another cover along the lines of “Holy Diver”?

Howard Jones: No, no covers this time around. That was a one-time thing. Kerrang! had asked us. Hey, if you would’ve asked us we would’ve done it, but no. [Laughs] The song turned out well in our eyes. Then the label put it on the extended version. The label asked us to do a video, but we said no. We started to get some submissions from people to direct it. Then Adam said, ‘What if I was the princess?’ It’s like, ‘Oh yeah! It’s on now!’ Once that happened we were totally into it. There’s a silly outtake on the album. That’s all I’ll say.
