Heaven Shall Burn Join Forces with Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach for “Numbered Days” Cover

Just a couple weeks stand between now and the release of metalcore outfit Heaven Shall Burn‘s forthcoming album Heimat, so naturally it’s time for the band to release yet another single to help elevate hype levels. And this time they’ve turned up the dial even more by showcasing their cover of Killswitch Engage‘s track “Numbered Days”, which just so happens to feature a guest spot by Jesse Leach.

According to the band, the opportunity to work with Leach on a Killswitch Engage cover was an exciting proposition.

“Killswitch Engage are THE metalcore band! When we heard ‘Numbered Days’ for the very first time, it totally blew us away. It was clear that something new was brewing up. No other band has influenced this style of music more and interpreted it better. Just because the guys have been very good friends for many years doesn’t mean you can’t pay tribute to this great band. We hope the song means as much to you as it does to us!”

Not one to stay out of the conversation, Leach said he was thrilled to perform the 2002 track off of Alive of Just Breathing with Heaven Shall Burn.

“All of us are honored by Heaven Shall Burn covering ‘Numbered Days.’ That song truly kicked off an album for us that would change our lives. All these years later to have people still resonate with our music means the world to us. Now to have a band like Heaven Shall Burn cover it 23 years later is really wild! Grateful and very stoked to have been a part of the reshaping of this song and to hear someone else’s take on it!”

Heimat will be released on June 27 via Century Media, but you can preorder your copy today.
