Killswitch Engagen Adam Dutkiewicz: ”Tiedän osan faneista pitävän Howard Jonesista Jesse Leachia enemmän”

Yhdysvaltalaisen metalcorea soittavan Killswitch Engagen kitaristi Adam Dutkiewicz antoi hiljattain australialaiselle Wall Of Sound -sivulle haastattelun, jossa hän kommentoi mm. yhtyeen uutaman vuoden takaista laulajanvaihdosta. Kysyttäessä oliko hän huolissaan fanien reaktiosta alkuperäislaulaja Jesse Leachin paluusta Howard Jonesin tilalle 2012, Dutkiewicz vastasi:

”Of course, you want the fans to be happy. The fans are the reason why we’re still a band. Without the support of all of our fans, we wouldn’t be able to do this. But at the same time, things are what they are. And having Jesse back was… I thought it was great. I love Jesse; I think he’s a fantastic singer. But I do know there are people out there that like Howard Jones more than Jesse, as there are people who like Jesse more than Howard Jones. So it kind of just is what it is. You just hope people still enjoy the songs, still enjoy the shows.”

Hän kommentoi seuraavasti Times Of Grace -yhtyettään, jossa Leach on myös mukana:

”[TIMES OF GRACE’s 2011 album ’The Hymn Of A Broken Man’], of course, has a tremendous place in my heart, just because of when we made it, where it came from and… It came from a different place inside of me, so it’ll always have a special place in my heart. Now, we have already talked about making a new record, and I’ve actually written about six demos already. So it’s already in motion. I’m thinking we’ll be recording it next year. Yeah, I’m absolutely on board with making another record.”

Taipumustaan suunnitella jatkuvasti seuraavia projektejaan Dutkiewicz kommentoi seuraavasti:

”I’ve gotten way better at slowing everything down and taking time to be with my family and friends once in a while, because if I just always concern myself with doing something new, I’ll drive myself nuts. But at the same time, yeah, I love just making music, so as long as I’m creating somehow, in some facet, in any way, that’s what makes me happy. I’ll always be doing that. I could never stop making music, even if nobody wants to listen to it.”
