Metalcore fans already have a reverence for the duo of singer Howard Jones and guitarist/Producer Adam Dutkiewicz. Their reunion has been met with excitement for new project Burn Eternal.

They have recently revealed that Burn Eternal’s self-titled debut album will arrive on February 26, 2027, via Metal Blade Records. Alongside the news, they have shared the lyric video for first single “Wounds I’ve Made.”

Jones says:

‘Wounds I’ve Made’ is about both acknowledging mistakes and regrets of the past, while also constantly evolving and moving forward,” says Jones. “Sometimes change hurts, but it’s necessary for self-growth and to avoid being stuck in the past. Some relationships aren’t meant to be.

Dutkiewicz adds:

We are glad to finally release ‘Wounds I’ve Made.’ It’s crazy to think that this was one of the first songs I wrote for this project… six years ago! I really hope you guys dig it.

Helping build New England’s underground, Jones with Blood Has Been Shed and Dutkiewicz with Aftershock and then Killswitch Engage, the two would go on to join forces and play key roles in what would become the KsE years between 2002 and 2012.

During the Jones fronted-era of KsE, the duo had amassed many awards and accolades together, including the band’s first of several Grammy nods for The End of Heartache, which also won best album at the 2004 Metal Hammer Golden God awards, as well as the 2006 platinum-selling As Daylight Dies, which remains the best-selling KsE album to date.
