A brand new audio interview with New England metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, which aired Tuesday night (August 22) on the "Mike Davies Rock Show" on BBC Radio 1, is available for streaming online at BBC.co.uk.

As previously reported, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE ahs set "As Daylight Dies" as the title of its new album, due on November 21 via Roadrunner Records.

"There was really hardly any thought put into it at all," bassist Mike D'Antonio told MTV.com. "It just came out and we hadn't written in so long that everyone had a lot to contribute. It felt more like the sessions for [2002's] 'Alive or Just Breathing', where everyone was contributing, and everyone had a say. That is more, to me, what the KILLSWITCH style is. But, it is the typical line that everyone gives you — that this is a heavier album — but it kind of is. It's definitely way heavier. There are still the melodic choruses here and there, and there's a lot to latch onto. But it's heavy."

"As Daylight Dies" is the result of more than a month and a half in the studio with KILLSWITCH guitarist and one of metal's "it" producers, Adam Dutkiewicz (UNDEROATH, ALL THAT REMAINS). Dutkiewicz will also be mixing the record, which will feature a dozen songs, including "This Is Absolution", "For You" and the title track.
