<\/a><\/h4>\nIt\u2019s safe to say that every fan of the Howard Jones-era in Killswitch Engage got really excited when Devil You Know<\/strong>, a new project featuring the aforementioned vocalist, released their first album last year. It would have been a true loss for the metal scene if Howard Jones had quit his career as one of the leading vocalists in the scene forever.<\/p>\n What first appeared as a studio project has quickly become a true band and the second record, They Bleed Red<\/em> will be in stores on the 6th<\/sup> of November. This means that Mr. Jones is continuing to delight us all with his angry gutturals and unique clean vocals, as well as his bandmates John Sankey on drums, Ryan Wombacher on the bass and guitarist Francesco Artusato are going on writing heavy, strong and groovy songs \u2013 this time around, ranging from some of the heaviest stuff the band has ever released to more alternative and slow tracks.<\/p>\n The debut album The Beauty of Destruction<\/em> has been well received by the media and yes, I did blast it out a lot, too. That album displayed a whole spectrum of different songs and even though this overall approach didn\u2019t change too much for They Bleed Red<\/em>, the band is now presenting a range of much more distinctive, straight-lined songs that were written and arranged with a rather definite goal. Also, Jones\u2019 vocals have become stronger than on the first record. His shouts, growls and screams sound nearly as natural as ten years ago with Killswitch Engage, while his clean vocals have developed a lot and are now influenced by many different styles while sounding smooth and powerful at the same time \u2013 forget regular metalcore clean vocals, THIS is the shit.<\/p>\n \u201cConsume The Damned\u201d is a strong opener that already tells something about the overall sound of the record: The sophomore full-length sounds raw, heavy, but is also filled with groove and melody right where it\u2019s needed. The single \u201cThe Way We Die\u201d really proves how great a catchy chorus and an extended guitar solo go together with uncompromising heaviness if you\u2019re doing it like Devil You Know<\/strong>. And, as fate willed, I vividly remember the silly and entertaining video for this song every time I\u2019m listening to it. (Oh, excuse me, you haven\u2019t seen the music video yet? Then go ahead and watch it below \u2026)<\/p>\n
