25-02-2025
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE released their new album, “This Consequence“, on February 21 via Metal Blade. The official music video for the LP’s latest single, “Collusion” is now released.
Watch “Collusion” below.
“‘Collusion’ is about the struggle between people in power and the common people,” explains Leach. “It speaks about the propaganda and divisiveness used to keep us in control. It’s about the ruthlessness of the ruling class who use wealth to raise, manipulate, and destroy empires at their will.”
He adds: “I wish for people to use discernment and intellect to read between the lines. My hope is to instill a desire for analyzation and critical thinking amidst the current rigged and corrupt forms of governments the world over.”
Watch the previously released “I Believe” and “Forever Aligned” below.
“This Consequence” is KILLSWITCH ENGAGE‘s ninth album overall, and sixth with original vocalist Jesse Leach, who rejoined the band in 2012.
“‘Forever Aligned’ is one of those songs that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God,” explains Leach. “It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of the world we live in could use a lot more connectivity.”
Regarding the album, Leach continues: “‘This Consequence’, to me, is the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody’s ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn’t change anything about this album.”
He finishes: “I think it’s the exact record we needed to make. I’m honored and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message.”
