Times Of Grace have entered the studio to begin laying down tracks for their new album.

The project featuring Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and frontman Jesse Leach have been working on the follow-up to 2011’s The Hymn Of A Broken Man, with Dutkiewicz saying in April this year that they had 13 demos.

Now they’re in the studio, with the band giving an update on Instagram.

They say: “Drums getting laid down for new music. Our tour drummer Dan Gluszak is now an official member and will be playing drums on the new record.

“Adam D is on the controls and the slow process of piecing together the behemoth of the new album begins.”

Leach said in February that the new material was on a “whole other level,” adding: “This stuff is quite different than the first record. I got a whole lot of writing to do! Adam has been busy. It begins, again…”

Meanwhile, Killswitch Engage will head out on tour across North America with Anthrax and Havok early next year. Find a list of tour dates below.
