Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage) Starts New Band with Members of All Shall Perish & Devolved

by | Mar 11, 2013

After a week of rumors, it turns out that former Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones has formed a new band with All Shall Perish guitarist Francesco Artusato and Devolved drummer John Sankey.

Jones said, “It’s a different style of music for me. It’s heavy as anything any of us are known for but I get to do some different things people won’t expect. I’ve been singing almost all my life. Being around good songwriters and musicians in my former bands really helped mold me into who I am now.”

As of now, no name has been revealed for the project. The band is solidifying a lineup and will record its debut album with producer and ex-Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader (Gojira, Fear Factory). The record is due out later this year.
