Killswitch Engage Stream "The New Awakening"

posted in: Music News

There has been so much great music thus far in 2013 that it is already becoming hard to keep track of all the good still to come. One release that has yet to venture far from our minds, however, is the forthcoming studio effort from New England’s Killswitch Engage.

Headed for an April 2 release date, the new album from Killswitch Engage seems poised to be their biggest to date. The singles that have already surfaced proved to fans that the return of the group’s original vocalist also ushered in a reignited passion for metal, and the track released this morning is no different.

“The New Awakening” wastes no time going for the jugular of metal fans everywhere with a swirling riff and pounding drums that pack enough force to win over any genre fan left on the fence with previous releases. The hook begs for a live audience, and I’m sure it will be a highlight of the band’s upcoming tours. You can stream the track below.
