The frontman for the metalcore trail blazers Killswitch Engage, Jesse Leach, has announced that he has a new hardcore band! Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta had the news via his own podcast ‘The Jasta Show’, that though he does have the side project Times Of Grace, he is adding another one to his resume of projects, which for those wondering, Seemless is no longer going to be one of those. Before that though, Times Of Grace fans will be proud to know that there is NEW tunes coming for that project as he said in addition to 14 new songs:

“The new stuff on the demos so far is even a further departure from the Killswitch sound. It’s less metal, more heavy indie rock. Kind of post metal sounding stuff.”

He then reveals the name of his new project, which is more of a punk/hardcore type thing, and it is called The Weapon. About the project, he said that it is more being:

“Minute and a half, really quick Black Flag style stuff kind of stuff.”

Fans can expect a 7″ from The Weapon this summer! This was not the first we had heard about this either. This past march Leach took to instagram with a photo with this caption:

It’s been a long time coming man! Woke up with a fire in my heart! These 4 albums serve as inspiration for a jam session today with 3 killer humans! Don’t tell anyone ?but I’ve put together a punk hardcore band/project for fun and today is our first jam session here in NY! To say I’m excited is a vast understatement! Now I just need to hack my car out of a couple of feet of ice! Stay tuned, you know I gotta big mouth on here and I’ll drop details or a sample track as soon as I have them. This is a side project and it is being done for the pure enjoyment of playing. It is also a necessary outlet for a singing/yelling style and lyrics I can’t fit into any other band or project I’ve ever done. My 15 year old self is quite proud of me! GO!!!!!!!
