Grammy-nominated heavy metal giants Killswitch Engage are set to release their highly anticipated new album This Consequence on February 21, 2025, via Metal Blade Records. The band has already teased fans with the release of their powerful new single, “I Believe,” accompanied by an emotive music video.
The track, which marks the latest chapter in Killswitch Engage’s impressive career, resonates with a message of resilience, hope, and strength.

He shares, “‘I Believe’ is about undying hope… Knowing deep down that ‘this too shall pass’ has been a beacon of light for me. I do believe there is meaning behind suffering. If we are able to push through difficult times and come out the other side, there is a renewed sense of purpose.”
In his message to fans, Leach emphasizes the universal nature of struggle, urging listeners to embrace hope and faith. “Things will get better! However, you have to believe that they will. There is power in faith, there is power in manifestation and prayer! Keep the faith and push forward with the confidence of better days ahead.”
