Killswitch Engage<\/a> collaborators Adam Dutkiewicz and Howard Jones have put out the first single from their new band, Burn Eternal.<\/p>\n

The track, Wounds I\u2019ve Made, is out now and precedes the release of the duo\u2019s self-titled debut album via Metal Blade on February 26. Watch the music video below. The album\u2019s tracklisting and artwork are also below, and preorders are now live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Singer Jones comments: \u201cWounds I\u2019ve Made is about both acknowledging mistakes and regrets of the past, while also constantly evolving and moving forward. Sometimes change hurts, but it\u2019s necessary for self-growth and to avoid being stuck in the past. Some relationships aren\u2019t meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guitarist Dutkiewitz adds: \u201cWe are glad to finally release Wounds I\u2019ve Made. It\u2019s crazy to think that this was one of the first songs I wrote for this project\u2026 six years ago! I really hope you guys dig it.\u201d<\/p>\n

After years of teases and studio updates, Burn Eternal officially launched last month<\/a>, with the announcement of their Metal Blade record deal.<\/p>\n

Jones first revealed that he and Dutkiewicz were in the studio together in 2023 via social media. \u201c1st song down, 11 to go,\u201d he wrote on Instagram. That December, the singer shared that vocal recording for Burn Eternal had been finished. It was confirmed in December 2024<\/a> that the album had been mixed.<\/p>\n

Dutkiewicz co-founded Killswitch Engage, one of the biggest bands in modern metalcore, in 1999, and Jones joined their lineup in 2002, replacing Jesse Leach. With Jones upfront, the band made a series of era-defining albums, including 2004\u2019s The End Of Heartache and 2006\u2019s As Daylight Dies. The singles My Curse, The End Of Heartache and Holy Diver (a cover of Dio\u2019s 1983 heavy metal<\/a> anthem) were smash hits which enjoyed extensive MTV airplay.<\/p>\n

Jones departed Killswitch in 2012 due to personal struggles and was replaced by his predecessor Leach. The exit was amicable, and the singer temporarily reunited with the band as a guest at select live shows in 2018, before handling co-lead vocals on 2019 single The Signal Fire.<\/p>\n

Killswitch continue to tour and record with Leach. The band released their latest album This Consequence<\/a> via Metal Blade last year and are currently playing across Australia and New Zealand. They\u2019ll take the stage at Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Friday. See further dates and details via their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
