Killswitch Engage singer Jesse Leach's hardcore punk side project, The Weapon, has released its debut album, called A Repugnant Turn Of Events, via Bandcamp.
The Weapon stated about the release of the album, “We dedicate this record to everyone fighting the good fight against tyrannical governments, racism, fascism, homophobia, and all forms of oppression. Get mad, get organized, stay focused, and stand strong.”
A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the disc during the first month of its release will go to help small venues in New York City that are currently shut down and could go out of business due to the pandemic and economic chaos.
Killswitch Engage is currently on the rock radio charts with “I Can't Be The Only One,” the latest single from the band's 2019 album Atonement.
Earlier this month, Killswitch Engage released Atonement II B-Sides For Charity. It includes six previously unreleased songs from the recording sessions for Atonement. One hundred percent of the proceeds are going to the COVID-19 Relief Fund for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.
