Three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights and platinum-selling band Killswitch Engage - Jesse Leach, vocals; Adam Dutkiewicz, guitar; Joel Stroetzel, guitar; Mike D'Antonio, bass; and Justin Foley, drums - will have a busy 2025, releasing their new album, This Consequence, on February 21 via Metal Blade. KsE are also returning to the road this winter and spring.

Their upcoming winter headline tour features support from Kublai Khan TX, Fit For A King and Frozen Soul, and kicks off on March 5 in Nashville and runs through April 12 in Portland, Maine.

The band has also announced dates for May, which will feature support from Shadows Fall, Fit For A King, and Boundaries. This leg goes on sale on Friday, January 10 at 10 AM, local time, while various pre-sales are happening now.

"We are very excited to be back out on the road in support of our incoming new album," states Leach. "What better way to roll it out than to have a few dates with our close friends and local boys Shadows Fall with us! They have come back with a vengeance and we want to have them along for the party on these run of shows. To round it out will be the mighty Fit For a King and the heavy hitters Boundaries! All killer, no filler."

As mentioned above, KsE's new album, This Consequence, arrives February 21 via Metal Blade. Pre-order it here. The band also shared the video for first single "Forever Aligned." Watch below.

"'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 honoured and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message."
