Asked in what way the making of "Incarnate" changed him, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE singer Jesse Leach told RockSverige.se : "I think it initially started out that I had an idea of what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go lyrically. I had a moment where I questioned stuff. I questioned myself as a writer, I questioned if what I was doing was the best it could be, and the answer was no, so I kind of spiraled myself into depression, almost purposely. I purposely put myself into a dark place and started thinking about the bigger questions of life, and from there I started to write stuff I never thought I'd write before and came to self-realizations about how I was raised and what I believe and don't believe. I'm in a good place now, but I question a lot of what I was raised with and I question a lot of my beliefs. All this stuff that surround how I was brought up, I realized some of that stuff I was just believing because I was taught it and I didn't really accept it as true. The way the state of the world is now and the way the American media has been aiming towards… between police brutality and gay rights, all these things that just upset me and anger me, I realized that the organization of religion and the organization of politics, I don't want anything to do with that anymore. Who we are as humans is so much greater than these confines that this particular systematic way of thinking puts on us. I think I liberated myself through a pretty heavy depression, but it was an artistic depression. I almost don't want to use depression; it was just a dark place. I didn't go quite down into the rabbit hole like I have before in the past, but enough so it affected my wife and she was worried about me. But, to me, it was like I needed to do it. I'd wake up in the morning and have extremely strong coffee and go out into the wilderness and spend all day just by myself and contemplate life and contemplate God. These heavy questions and I wanted to tackle that on this record, and I think that I did."

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist and producer Adam Dutkiewicz recently told Revolver magazine that Leach "hit a wall with ideas" during the songwriting process for "Incarnate" after completing the first three or four songs in the studio. "He couldn't find lyrics he was really stoked on," Adam explained. "But Jesse 's a great lyricist and a great songwriter, so I just told him, 'Keep writing, and when you hit on something that inspires you, bring it to me.'"

Leach told Revolver about the "Incarnate" title: "The definition of incarnate is 'in the flesh.' And this record is who we are right now. Whereas [2013's] 'Disarm The Descent' was sort of my 'comeback' album, and was about us feeling out the new vibe. But now, after spending a few years traveling the world together, I think we're all in a really comfortable place. We definitely have a strong sense of self as to who we are as a band

The band will embark on a North American headline tour shortly after the new album's release. They will be joined by MEMPHIS MAY FIRE and 36 CRAZYFISTS for the trek, which runs from March 16 in San Antonio, Texas to April 24 near Charleston, South Carolina.

Killswitch Engage Share New Song ‘Embrace the Journey … Upraised’

Incarnate , Killswitch Engage 's forthcoming record, will be released on Friday (March 11) on Roadrunner and the metalcore stalwarts have been steadily releasing new songs all week in preparation. The latest, their sixth track to be unearthed, is titled "Embrace the Journey ... Upraised" and features more impactful lyrics and the band's signature blend of melody and slugging rhythms.

With songs like " Alone I Stand ," " Hate By Design " " Cut Me Loose " and " Strength of Mind " already released, "Embrace the Journey ... Upraised" continues the lyrical theme of positive reinforcement and self-reflection. Singer Jesse Leach sounds vicious, unleashing his personal touch once again over speedy rhythms accented by tempo changes from drummer Justin Foley , who has laid down some of his best work to date. The clean-sung chorus is a Killswitch Engage staple, showcasing the more emotional side of the band through anthemic vocal melodies against memorable chord progressions.

In our exclusive interview with Leach, the singer discussed how he has embraced his journey in the band since returning to the fold in 2012, explaining he's never satisfied with anything, but how he is happy where he is right now, grateful to be afforded the opportunity to travel the world and play music.

Killswitch Engage will be touring in support of  Incarnate  starting March 16, where they will kick off a run with Memphis May Fire and 36 Crazyfists in San Antonio, Texas. The tour will run through April 22, coming to an end in Asheville, N.C. For a full list of stops, visit our 2016 Guide to Rock + Metal Tours .

Killswitch Engage - Embrace the Journey...Upraised Lyrics

Artist: Killswitch Engage

Album: Incarnate (Deluxe)

A lifetime of searching Questioning existence and purpose From the setting sun To the vast expanses Death from birth in reverse Examine the dimensions in suspension of disbelief The search continues The soul escapes Our existence My soul aches Beyond the aether pass into the veil Dissolved into nothingness No hands can grasp There is no answer to the questions In the span of the infinite To the concept of all time I'm upraised a feeling I can't explain My soul aches still searching is my refrain Prepare the body for when the soul escapes The last caress before the great awakening Beyond all All of our comprehension Beyond all disbelief Spread my ashes into the sea Embrace the journey Death where is thy sting I'm upraised a feeling I can't explain My soul aches still searching is my refrain I'm upraised still searching is my remains My soul aches this feeling I can't explain Silence the voice of the self-righteous condescending and without grace Give sight to those who are blind with hatred to see beyond hypocrisy My soul searches beyond the aether beyond the dogmatic haze I still believe I still believe I, I still believe I, I still believe My soul searches beyond the aether as still believe My soul searches beyond the aether as still believe
