In a recent interview with Alternative Press, Killswitch Engage’s Adam Dutkiewicz spilled the beans on the recording process for an album they’re hoping to have ready for release by “very early next year.”

The band apparently have sixteen songs in the works; two that are finished and fourteen that will get some more work when the band returns to the studio next month. Tentatively titled “Disarm the Descent,” Killswitch’s next album marks the triumphant return of frontman Jesse Lynch. Read all about it right here.
