After the departure of vocalist Howard Jones recently, it looks like US metalcore outfit Killswitch Engage has reunited with original vocalist Jesse Leach, who left the band in 2002, after participating in the band's first two albums. Although no formal announcement has yet been made by the band or label, the band posted a band photo on their official website featuring the singer, which might put an end to speculation about the new vocalist.

Killswitch Engage - Vocalist Relieved From Duty
US metallers Killswitch Engage announced on their official website that the band decided to continue without vocalist Howard Jones. The band is now making preparations for the upcoming album, due to be released at some point later in the year. The band issued the following update:
"To our family, friends and fans: We have decided to continue on without Howard Jones as the singer of Killswitch Engage. We love Howard and are thankful for the nine years that we've had him in the band. Out of respect for everyone involved we will not be discussing the specific reasons behind this decision. Howard is a part of our family and always will be, and we wish him well. He has left big shoes to fill, so we certainly have our work cut out for us to find the next singer of Killswitch, something we plan on making priority #1 going forward. Most importantly, thanks to all of you for all the support throughout the years and for sticking by us for all this time. We really do appreciate it and we very much look forward to having a new record for all of you in the not too-distant future that we can all be proud of. Sincerely, Adam, Joel, Mike, and Justin."

Killswitch Engage - Writing Material For New Album
Killswitch Engage are preparing to commence work on a new studio album.
Guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz has checked in on Facebook with the following brief update: "We're about to begin writing our new record. Thanks to all of our fans for waiting so friggin' patiently... now let's turn on the "riff faucet" and RAGE!"
More details are still to be revealed, though a spring 2012 release through Roadrunner Records seems likely.

Unearth - Tap Killswitch Engage Drummer For New Album
Unearth has commenced recording their next album, recruiting Killswitch Engage's Justin Foley to lay down the drum tracks.
The band had the following to say: "We wanted to let everyone know that tracking for the new album has officially begun! We're currently at Zing Studios in Westfield, MA tracking drums with our sit-in drummer for the album Justin Foley of Killswitch Engage/Blood Has Been Shed. Foley was an obvious choice for this album for many reasons, but mainly because of his abilities and knowledge of heavy music as well as his long time friendship with the band. A decade plus of friendship has made this an easy transition for the band, Foley and our producer/engineer Adam D."
In other news, the band has decided to change the mixing engineer for the album to Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Devildriver, Trivium) from Audiohammer Studios. "Mark is another long time friend of the band and we're excited to hear what he can do with our sound on record."
Guitarist Buz McGrath added the following irrelevant comment about working with Mark: "Mark Lewis mixed me a drink once and I woke up in a swamp covered in anti-freeze."
Unearth is aiming at a mid to late June release for the album, followed by a massive world tour.
