We had the pleasure of interviewing Jesse Leach of Times of Grace and Killswitch Engage on the Zoom video!

Seething depths of plaintive grief, austere self-examination and moving soundscapes unfold in TIMES OF GRACE, with flashes of cathartic power and an undercurrent of insistent urgency. It is a meditation on absence, sorrow, perplexity and rebirth, summoned with poignant authenticity.

The Anthem of a Broken Man arrived in 2011, nearly a decade after Leach’s release from Killswitch Engage, the pivotal New Wave Of American Heavy Metal band that the duo co-founded with friends in 1999. TIMES OF GRACE debut music materialized during Dutkiewicz’s difficult recovery from an almost crippling back. surgery. A collection of songs that the multi-instrumentalist and producer knew would suit his old and future bandmate. The acclaimed debut album by BBC Music, Aquarius, and Rock sound. He purposely turned expectations upside down, with shoegaze and ambiance flourishes in his songs.

Now, ten years after TIMES OF GRACE first surfaced, comes the follow-up.

Comfortably stretched beyond the parameters of the above, without sacrificing an ounce of integrity, TIMES OF GRACE weaves between pensive rock, heavy, midtempo, riffs and atmosphere. The duo’s vocal interaction creates a rich, dense, and captivating concoction, fueling various soul-dark nights journeys and spirit-expanding excursions into nature. Songs of loss and separation benefits immensely from the performance of former Envy On The Coast drummer Dan Gluszak, who toured behind the debut album and is now an official member of the band.

TIMES OF GRACE’s sprawling second album channels a dissonant, menacing and relentless depression. A bewitching romanticism and a deep spiritual desire collide in a beautiful melancholy. It is a diverse but singular statement, like the work most appreciated by classical groups. Songs of loss and separation, insisting in his blues, bleeds distortion and emotion, like a nerve, bare.
