Songs of Loss and Separation is the second album by American rock band Times of Grace, released on July 16, 2021, through Wicked Good Records. It is their first album with drummer Dan Gluszak.
Background and release[edit]
In 2016, the band reformed after a four-year hiatus and stated they have material written for five new Times of Grace songs.[9]
In December 2017, the band entered the studio recording its follow-up to The Hymn of a Broken Man with former live drummer Dan Gluszak as their new official member of the band.[10]
On June 24, 2020, Leach confirmed that the band's second album was completed,[11] as a result of the tour for the album Atonement by the main band of members Adam Dutkiewicz and Jesse Leach, Killswitch Engage, being postponed due to COVID.[12]
In May 2021, the band announced Songs of Loss and Separation would be released on July 16, 2021.[13] They also released their first single from the album, "The Burden of Belief".[14]
