MetalSucks Podcast #44

Howard Jones, ex-Killswitch Engage and current Devil You Know vocalist, is our guest this week. We talk about his bout with depression, his reasons for leaving KSE, his new project and we generally try and psychoanalyze a way too humble man.

Chuck and Godless also talk about the cuttlefish in the room, the death of Dave Brockie; what his death means to them and what it might mean for the band — Godless already thinking about their future and Chuck is stuck in the past. They also let you hear the new supergroup Killer Be Killed and can’t help but like the song, and they discuss the reasons why bands try to make something new when they already have a good thing going (or if that is even the point of the exercise?).

Songs:
Devil You Know – “Seven Years Alone”
Killer Be Killed – “Wings of Feather and Wax”
GWAR – “Maggots”

Jesse Leach back with Killswitch Engage

In an expected twist of events, this image popped up at killswitchengage.com With out the formal press release, facebook announce, or twitter comment just yet, it may all be part of the speculation that has been raging since the announced departure of Howard Jones (but probably not).

Leach seems like the most likely choice since the rekindling of the Adam D. flames in Times of Grace, but also thinking about a third vocalist for KSE is almost mind numbing at this point. Probably the wise decision, and he still has got some chops.
