Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage reflects on the profound themes behind their upcoming album, describing it as dark, angry, and cathartic, offering listeners a journey through righteous anger and self-discovery. He reveals how personal experiences, like his connection with his wife during the pandemic, inspired tracks like "Forever Aligned," which blends love, faith, and existential musings. Jesse emphasizes the therapeutic power of metal, allowing fans to confront societal frustrations and personal struggles. The conversation also explores broader topics like breaking free from societal labels, embracing open dialogue, and the insights gained from world travel. Ultimately, Jesse champions empathy and connection, both through music and in real-life interactions.
