Jesse Leach returns to Killswitch Engage

Jesse Leach

After leaving Killswitch Engage for ten years, Jesse Leach returns to claim his original vocalist spot in the band's lineup. After Howard Jones, the singer who replaced Leach, decided to take his leave, KsE found themselves on the hunt for a new frontman. After meeting some people and having a few auditions, the band finally decided it was best if they brought back Leach.

I am really excited to hear this news. Killswitch Engage's second album, Alive or Just Breathing, which came out in 2002 right before Leach left the band, is among my favorite albums to listen to. I have also enjoyed listening to Times of Grace, a side project of Leach and the band's guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz. From the sounds of it, Killswitch Engage is already back in the studio working on a new album to follow up their second self titled release from 2009. With any luck it will be a triumphant return to a familiar and amazing sound.
