Chris DeMakes A Podcast Ep. 271: Jesse Leach discusses Killswitch Engage’s “In Due Time”
On this episode, Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage opens up about the writing and recording of the band's powerful 2013 single "In Due Time," marking his return to the group after a decade-long absence. Jesse and Chris explore how personal growth, emotional honesty, and a deep musical chemistry—especially with guitarist and producer Adam Dutkiewicz—shaped the song and the album Disarm the Descent. From the track’s uplifting message of patience and resilience to the technical choices behind its punchy, dynamic sound, the conversation also dives into the band’s Grammy nomination, the highs and lows of touring, and the ever-relevant role of mental health and compassion in the creative world.
