The six-track collection, dubbed Atonement II B-sides for Charity, consists of leftover songs from the latest Killswitch album, 2019’s Atonement.
“These songs didn’t make the final cut for Atonement,” says frontman Jesse Leach. “Choosing which songs make an album remains a tough process for me. While the songs that made the most sense appear on the album, I’m still attached to every song I write.”
“When the idea came up to put these B-Sides out and donate funds to a charity, I was relieved at the idea and the band unanimously agreed to the cause,” he adds. “I am proud these songs get to see a release, and to help others in the process is a huge bonus.”
Atonement II is available now on Bandcamp, and will come to all digital platforms on May 8. Proceeds will benefit the COVID-19 Relief Fund for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.
