A lot has happened since Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach said he’d be disconnecting from social media. It seemed like more of a temporary vacation than a full-on exile, as according to his Instagram activity, it looks like he’s started working on a second Times of Grace album. The project, a collaboration with Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, released one album back in 2011, The Hymn of a Broken Man. That well-received album was the first time Leach and Adam D. had played together in nine years, and Leach returned to the band the following year.

Leach said the following:

“Listening to new Times of Grace demos. This is on some whole other level. This stuff is quite different than the first record! I got a whole lot of writing to do! Adam has been busy…It begins, again.”
