Killswitch Engage have streamed their track Define Love, which will be released as a limited-edition Record Store Day title tomorrow (April 16).
It’ll be available as a seven-inch vinyl single in participating independent record stores, with the B side covered in artwork created by bassist Mike D, and a band logo stencil included in the pack.
Frontman Jesse Leach says of Define Love: “It’s my critique on our attempts as humans to limit or restrict love. Whether it be political or religious agendas, love seems to be used as a way to manipulate people to think or act a certain way.
“Love is deeper than simple emotion or desire. It is an unexplainable spirit that defies our attempts to harness and understand it. True love, in my mind, is far greater than our feeble comprehension of it. We need not try to set any limitations on what defines love.”
Killswitch Engage will take part in a Record Store Day signing session at Newbury Comics in Leominster, Massachussets, tomorrow afternoon. They’re currently touring North America in support of eighth album Incarnate, released in March.
