Killswitch Engage – Jesse Leach, vocals; Adam Dutkiewicz, guitar; Joel Stroetzel, guitar; Mike D’Antonio, bass; and Justin Foley, drums – released their latest album, This Consequence, on February 21, via Metal Blade. The album arrived alongside a hugely successful winter/spring 2025 tour, and yielded a Top 10 single with “I Believe.”
The album was another reminder of why KsE, who have earned several gold and platinum certifications alongside three Grammy nominations, remain one of the most enduring bands of the modern metal scene.
Today, the band proudly shares the evocative video for “Aftermath.” For this video, KsE collaborated with some of the world’s leading environmental groups to highlight damage being done to Earth and things we can all do to help stop it.
Watch the video, produced and directed by Good Eye: Music Visuals, below.
“‘Aftermath’ is a song about the realization of a tragic event or a war, and the strength it takes to rebuild and the hindsight of the loss, betrayal, and madness that transpired while going through it all,” Leach explains. “I think we can all relate to this in one way or another. We see daily the tragedies of humanity as well as the destruction of a place we call home. We have taken so much from our planet and ripped the scales in the incorrect direction.”
The singer continues, “This song is not just a desperate song with a sense of sadness and anger – it is a call to arms. I’m urging my fellow humans to rise above the helplessness and despair. I want people to see we need to put one foot in front of the other and start to rebuild our lives. Be it from an abusive relationship, a financial hardship, a death of a loved one, or mourning yet another disaster unleashed upon the natural world.”
Leach finishes, “We all have power to create change. To me, this works perfectly with the various organizations we partnered with for this video. We all have a responsibility to the amazing place we call home. All of us can make a difference big or small by just contributing to righting the wrongs and repairing the damage we have inflicted on our planet. Our hope is to inspire others to help contribute to keeping our home safe and clean for future generations. It starts right here and right now with us.”
