Howard Jones returns to Killswitch Engage for their 25th anniversary performance

Author Benedetta Baldin - 23.9.2024

At the “New England Metal And Hardcore Festival” in Worcester, Massachusetts on September 21st, Killswitch Engage performed a 25th-anniversary set. Vocalist Howard Jones, who left the group in 2012, is still very much a part of that heritage. As such, he came back to perform three songs with his multi-platinum metalcore comrades at the aforementioned show. Jones participated in the songs “Take This Oath,” “Rose Of Sharyn,” and “The Signal Fire,” his post-Killswitch Engage reunion song with the band. Additionally, “The Forgotten” from 2009 was reintroduced back into the set for the first time since 2010. With their long-awaited side project, Jones and guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage have been gradually moving forward.
