Ever since Jesse Leach re-joined Killswitch Engage, there have been two big questions on the minds of fans: 1) Will Leach enable KsE to finally make another killer album, and 2) What will it sound like when Leach sings songs from the Howard Jones era?

Well, now we have the answer to the second question at least. Reader Kyle Brahe sent us these videos of Leach and the band performing in the End of Heartache‘s title track and “Bid Farewell” in Utrecht last night, as well as the group’s lauded cover of Dio’s “Holy Diver.”

Not shocking: Leach can handle these tunes admirably. So if for some reason you were worried about that… don’t be.
