Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D’Antonio recently spoke with Metal Insider on all things Killswitch. The following exchange took place regarding the departure of frontman Howard Jones from the band:
“…I have to ask: at what point did it become apparent that Killswitch Engage was no longer going to move forward with Howard Jones?
When we started writing the new record, there was just no creative juices flowing on his end. And after the last record, we kind of got a sense that things weren’t going right. Then the interim, in between the two years that we had off and writing the new record, it was just not going into the proper direction. We could tell that it was stifled, a very stifled situation. So that’s all I can really say. It was easy to tell.
But the band is still on good terms with Howard.
Yes.”
