“‘I Believe’ is about undying hope,” shares Leach. “During difficult times perspective is everything. Knowing deep down that ‘this too shall pass’ has been a beacon of light for me. I do believe there is meaning behind suffering. If we are able to push through difficult times and come out the other side, there is a renewed sense of purpose.”

He continues, “I know there are much more commonalities between all of us as humans than there are differences. The good far outweighs the bad. This is my message to anyone who’s listening, things will get better! However you have to believe that they will!. There is power in faith, there is power in manifestation and prayer! Keep the faith and push forward with the confidence of better days ahead. Do not let this world pull you down into despair. Tomorrow is a new day and a new possibility for change!”

“I Believe” lyrics:

I Believe
Covering the truth inside us
giving into spite
Self inflicted paranoia hindering our sight

Lose track of what used to drive you to make you feel alive
That part of yourself that gave you the willingness to fight

Some people will say it’s part of life
I chose to refuse to let it slide
Finding faith in these dark times
Keeping hope alive

I believe there is hope for better days
I believe we will conquer what we face

Discovering the faith inside us
save us from despair
No matter what this world will tell you
do not live in fear

Learn to let the light guide you
Let go of the pain
You can’t kill the passion in me
My devotion remains

I believe there is hope for better days
I believe we will conquer what we face

Come what may the light will guide my way
Come what may I won’t be led astray

Do you believe that something can renew your strength
When you find it you stop at nothing
it’s in every word you say
So keep the faith

The light will guide my way
I won’t be led astray
and nothing will stand in my way

I believe I believe that there is hope
I believe there is hope for better days

“Making this record lit a fire under my ass and made me rethink everything,” admits Jesse. “It had to be next level. It had to be different enough for people to really recognize we’re putting forth an effort—or what’s the point of doing this? There was no repeating ourselves. It was very carefully planned out and passionately written. It sounds like Killswitch, yet there’s also a fresh spirit to it.”

This time around, the group emphasized working together face-to-face in a Massachusetts rehearsal spot. The process enabled them to apply the pressure on every element. At the collective urging of his bandmates, Jesse poured over his words like never before.

“We pushed him to do more vocal demos and were super tough on him,” recalls Adam. “He was so open to feedback though, and he definitely got the lyrics right. I love it when he and I are face-to-face, and ideas are flying around. We work especially well together when we’re in the heat of the moment. All of the demoing made for a better record, and there was so much communication between all of the band members.”

“It felt like everyone put a ton of effort into this,” Mike adds. “It’s the first time since Alive Or Just Breathing that we really hashed everything out together in the same room. It was a combined effort, and there are even some things you’ve never heard from Killswitch.”

“I never considered myself to be a part of mainstream society,” he goes on. “I’ve always been in the middle. To me, this record is about the consequences of our actions as humans as we engage in war, hatred, division, and falling in line with control. History repeats itself. We’re going to have to answer for our actions—whether it’s how we treat the earth or each other. There will be an uprising and a backlash from nature. Cause-and-effect is a driving theme. We will face a consequence.”
