Burn Eternal, the new collaboration between former KILLSWITCH ENGAGE singer Howard Jones and guitarist/producer Adam Dutkiewicz, has signed to Metal Blade Records; their debut LP was mixed in December 2024 after at least two years of work.

According to Blabbermouth.

BURN ETERNAL, the new project led by Howard Jones and guitarist/producer Adam Dutkiewicz, has signed with Metal Blade Records. The announcement confirms the duo’s return to working together under the new name and indicates forthcoming releases through the label.

Verified specifics from the report: the project consists solely of Jones and Dutkiewicz; work on the debut LP lasted at least two years and was mixed in December 2024. In August 2023 Jones mentioned that 13 demos had been created for the project, and Dutkiewicz told a radio show that the music ‘‘sounds a bit like KILLSWITCH’’ because he is the songwriter.

Label founder Brian Slagel and the artists expressed enthusiasm about the release, but the source does not provide a firm street date.
