Killswitch Engage Drop ‘This Consequence’ and Music Video “Collusion”

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 — have just released their new album This Consequence out now via Metal Blade.

Today, they have shared the video for the focus track “Collusion.”

Leach says of the song:

“‘Collusion’ is about the struggle between people in power and the common people. 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. I wish for people to use discernment and intellect to read between the lines. My hope is to instill a desire for analysation and critical thinking amidst the current rigged and corrupt forms of governments the world over.”

Their upcoming winter U.S. 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.

European touring plans will be revealed in the coming weeks.
