Show notes

This week on Late For Load In, we sit down with one of metalcore’s most iconic and honest voices—Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage.

Jesse opens up about his battle with social anxiety, his departure from the band just as they were blowing up, and the surreal experience of re-auditioning years later. This episode is packed with vulnerability, resilience, and wisdom from one of the genre’s most inspiring figures.
