Ex-Killswitch Engage Member Is Conquering Anxiety





Everybody has experienced a form of anxiety at some point their lives. Over 18% parent of the population which accounts for roughly 40 million people deal with an anxiety disorder. Howard Jones formerly of Killswitch Engage has dealt with it his entire career. A natural introvert, Howard admits his personality offstage is completely different from what you see onstage. Feeling overwhelmed by the rigorous touring schedule with Killswitch Engage, he decided to leave the band and tackle his inner-issues head on. Howard immersed himself in a plethora of outdoor activities which he loves and disposed of any form of communication. For a period of time close to 3 years, Howard Jones went without a cellphone of any form. He spent the time being isolated and getting his mind in the right perspective.

Fishing is his “happy place”. Perhaps almost a form of meditation for him. He loves it all. Anything from deep sea to blast fishing. When asked if he’ll be taking up noodling the next time he makes an appearance in Oklahoma, he respectfully declined. As he elegantly put it “Shoving your hand in a giant catfish would be like putting it in live vice-grips.”

Re-emerging stronger and healthier, Howard Jones decided to get back in the music business with the band Devil You Know. After a name change and new direction with the band, they decided to go with Light The Torch. Writing and curating ideas for songs is what Howard loves to do. As he explains on the DOMKcast, “It takes up the majority of my day. I wake up early, write until about 11am; head to the studio in the afternoon and start recording.”

Howard Jones has found the balance he was looking for in the music industry. Devoting the time to be successful but also making room for himself. Hear their new album “Revival” which features the latest single from Light The Torch called “Safety Of Disbelief”. The band is currently on the road with Sevendust and In This Moment. Hear the full conversation with Howard Jones of Light The Torch on episode 90 of the DOMKcast. #DOMKRocks
