Killswitch Engage are calling on vocalists to submit material for consideration of their open singer position.

Those interested should send an MP3 or song link, a photo, and description to the band’s management at strongmanagement@stronghq.com. 

Former Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones has released a statement on his departure from the band.

Jones commented, “I guess I will shed a little light without going too deep.  As some of you may know, I’ve had a pretty interesting couple of years to say the least battling with some personal issues.  One of the low points being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes that went unchecked for years.  The rest of the band stuck with me through it, and to be honest they are the ones that kept me going.  The whole experience definitely put a scare in me.

Killswitch Engage have parted ways with vocalist Howard Jones.

“We have decided to continue on without Howard Jones as the singer of Killswitch Engage,” the band commented. “We love Howard and are thankful for the nine years that we’ve had him in the band.  Out of respect for everyone involved we will not be discussing the specific reasons behind this decision.  Howard is a part of our family and always will be, and we wish him well.  He has left big shoes to fill, so we certainly have our work cut out for us to find the next singer of Killswitch, something we plan on making priority #1 going forward.  Most importantly, thanks to all of you for all the support throughout the years and for sticking by us for all this time.  We really do appreciate it and we very much look forward to having a new record for all of you in the not too distant future that we can all be proud of.”
