In the midst of working on a new album Boston metal act Killswitch Engage have announced they will be parting ways with their singer, Howard Jones.
Read a statement Killswitch Engage on Jones departing from the band:
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 & Justin.
We wish the band the best of luck in moving forward and finding a new singer, and you know we’ll keep you posted as more details on the band’s upcoming album surface.
Killswitch Engage last released a self-titled album in June 2009 via Roadrunner Records.
