March 17, 2020, 4 years ago
On March 10th, Killswitch Engage performed in Cleveland, OH, and during their set they welcomed former singer Howard Jones to the stage. Her performed "The End Of Heartache" and "The Signal Fire", the latter being a new track taken from the band's latest album, Atonement. Fan-filmed video is available below.
Back in 2019, Killswitch Engage released a video for "The Signal Fire". Current and former KsE singers Jesse Leach and Howard Jones trade vocals in this simple but electrifying performance clip, directed by the band's longtime collaborator Ian McFarland (The Godfathers of Hardcore, Meshuggah).
"This video is a demonstration of solidarity and unity," says Leach. "This is for the fans and this is our testimony to all who see this video. In these times we live in, I believe this is an important message - not just for us as a band and our fans but for all of humanity. This is a call for compassion and understanding! There is strength in unity."
Leach continues, "The making of the video was a great experience as well. Just all of us guys hanging out and having fun together. Ian McFarland did a hell of a job capturing the vibe and energy of our performances."
"It was another silly day at the office," adds Jones. "Good food, lots of wrestling talk, and hanging with the boys is a great way to spend the day and get a little work done. Shout out to Ian McFarland for making everything painless at the shoot. The day was all smiles - with a hint of metal."
