Multi-platinum metalcore pioneers Killswitch Engage have released their new single “I Believe,” which first premiered on SiriusXM Octane earlier this week. The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Tom Flynn and Mike Watts. Vocalist Jesse Leach shared the meaning behind the song:
“‘I Believe’ is about undying hope. During difficult times perspective is everything. 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.”
He continues, “I know there are much more commonalities between all of us as humans than there are differences. The good far outweighs the bad. This is my message to anyone who’s listening — 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. Do not let this world pull you down into despair. Tomorrow is a new day and a new possibility for change!”
The single precedes the band’s ninth studio album, “This Consequence,” which is set for release on February 21st.
