Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach has revealed that he ghost wrote some lyrics for George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher on the upcoming self-titled album by Serpentine Dominion. The super group features the talents of Adam Dutkiewicz (guitarist, Killswitch Engage) and Shannan Lucas (drums, ex-Black Dahlia Murder) in addition to Fisher.
Leach shared his thoughts on writing lyrics dark enough to be ejected from Corpsegrinder’s neck in a recent Instagram post:
“So I wrote some of the darkest lyrics of my career! I was originally hired as a ghost writer but the boys decided to out me (I’m secretly really stoked they did)! What an absolute HONOR to be a part of this project! This album is just next level! If you would have told a 16 year old me I’d be writing lyrics for George from Monstrosity (better known now for his work in Cannibal Corpse) I would have lost my mind! Still kind of geeking out about it! Head over to Metalblade.com for more details. All hails! The power of these three musicians combined is a force to be reckoned with! Just wait…its MASSIVE!”
If the first single is a harbinger of what’s to come, then I think it’s safe to say this record could be a real crowd-pleaser. The self-titled album comes out on October 28th via Metal Blade Records. You can pre-order it here.
