The most anticipated reunion in modern metalcore is officially “ready to go,” but Adam Dutkiewicz is just as frustrated as the fans are. After years of radio silence following the initial 2023 announcement, the Killswitch Engage mastermind has finally checked in on Burn Eternal, his new project with former KSE frontman Howard Jones. While the record has been polished and mastered for months, a “perfect storm” of industry red tape and management delays has kept the music locked in the vault.

TL;DR: The Key Takeaways

• The Status: The debut Burn Eternal album is 100% mixed and mastered, including the vinyl edition.
• The Hold-up: Adam D. blames a mix of management delays and the “drastic” shift in how modern record deals are structured in the streaming era.
• The Artwork: The final step before release is sourcing the right artwork.
• Touring Future: Both Adam and Howard are “very interested” in touring the project if the fan demand is high enough.

“It’s Taking Too Long”: Adam D. Fires Back at Industry Delays

For fans who have been waiting since mixing began in early 2024, the two-year silence has been grueling. Speaking with Metal Injection, Dutkiewicz didn’t hold back his own agitation. “I’m getting upset that it’s taking so long,” he admitted, citing a complex battle with record labels.

The primary obstacle appears to be the evolving nature of the music business. Adam noted that revenue models have changed so drastically due to the lack of traditional album sales that finding the “right” deal has become a marathon of negotiations. Despite the business friction, the creative work is finished—right down to the vinyl mastering.

The Style and the Stage: Will Burn Eternal Hit the Road?

Burn Eternal isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a “long-gestating” labor of love between two of the genre’s most iconic architects. While the chemistry between Dutkiewicz and Jones is legendary, having defined the gold standard of melodic metalcore in the mid-2000s, the question remains: will they take it live?

When asked about future performances, Adam’s answer was a resounding “yes”—with a few caveats. “Jones and I have talked about it… the demand has to be there, obviously,” he shared. Beyond the demand, the duo would still need to recruit a full touring lineup to bring the studio project to life.

Ready to Launch: The Final Countdown

With the music finalized and the duo simply waiting on artwork and the right distribution partner, the launch of Burn Eternal feels more “when” than “if.” For a project that has survived three years of development and industry shifts, the eventual release promises to be a massive moment for the global metal community.

FAQ: Burn Eternal 2026 Update

Is the Burn Eternal album finished? Yes. Adam Dutkiewicz confirmed the album has been mixed and mastered for months, including the masters for vinyl release.

Why hasn’t the album been released yet? The delay is caused by management issues and the difficulty of securing a modern record deal that accounts for the current landscape of music revenue.

Will Burn Eternal tour? Adam D. and Howard Jones are both interested in touring, provided there is enough fan demand and they can assemble a full backing band.

Band Bio: Burn Eternal

Burn Eternal is the high-octane creative offshoot featuring Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage) and his former bandmate Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage, Light The Torch). Born out of a desire to collaborate outside the confines of their primary projects, the band represents a reunion of the duo responsible for some of the most successful eras in metalcore history. After years of development, the project stands as one of the most highly anticipated debut releases of 2026.

Next month marks six years since Phoebe Bridgers’ seminal sophomore album, Punisher. Since then, the singer-songwriter has catapulted into fame and practically disappeared into reclusion, though we did get the song “Sidelines” and some melancholy Christmas tunes in 2022. Last night, she played her first show in three years. It was announced the day before, and it took place in Roswell, New Mexico.
