Killswitch Engage founders Jesse Leach and Adam Dutkiewicz have reunited and have formed a new band called Times Of Grace.

This new project can be described as a “Brand new band that finds the duo taking a creative left turn, boldly exploring new musical terrain, while fearlessly digging deep into the recesses of their musical synergy. It has yielded a provocative, heavy-yet-melodic result, one that helped each of them overcome personal struggles and emerge from the darkness, more empowered than ever.”
