Trivium's Matt Heafy recently exited the band's tour to be at home for the birth of his twin children. One of the fill-ins for Heafy was ex-Killswitch Engage & current Light The Torch frontman Howard Jones. As a "thank you" to Jones, Heafy both covered Killswitch Engage's "My Curse" on his Twitch as an acoustic song, as well as gifted Jones a guitar.
There are not enough words to express the eternal gratitude that I have for Howard Jones for helping my family, my band, and our countless supporters in North America. To see one of my all-time heroes so happy to be performing with our band – a band that wouldn’t exist without his influence – means the world to me. Mia and Akira love you Uncle Hojo! (The guitar is the LEAST I can do to thank you).
