Killswitch Engage‘s Jesse Leach shared a teaser clip for his new old-school hardcore-punk project The Weapon last week, and today he’s shared the full track online. Jesse also spoke to Revolver about the new project saying, “I’ve been wanting to do a hardcore project for years but just never had the right people or the right timing. It started with my friend Chris Drapeau who used to play for Aggressive Dogs, a Japanese crossover band. He saw me post about wanting to start a hardcore project and sent me some tracks he had been messing with. I was immediately into what he was doing and the rest just came together fairly easy. I have my good friend Josh Mihlek — also Killswitch Engage’s production manager — on bass and my friend and “Dark City Studio” — where we recorded — owner Andy Mass on drums.”

He went on to add, “We are not striving for perfection, just feeling. With Killswitch and Times, it’s very polished and precise. I can go in a little more hard on the lyrics and I don’t have to concern myself with melodies or singing a part near perfect. I am not a fan of unflawed “perfect” sounding vocals — clearly, if you’ve seen me live — so it’s a breath of fresh air to just belt it out and be done.”
