Frontiers Records reports:

"Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the signing of the Finnish melodic metal band LEVERAGE, for a multi-album deal!

Finnish heavy rock has of course long traditions, but this type of old school melodic heavy rock with a shade of progressive flavour hasn’t been heard from Finnish bands before.

Leverage's debut album, Tides, created a real underground wave among fans during 2006. Winner of the “Best Metal / Prog” album of the year award on Melodicrock.com (and getting great reviews all around the net), the band’s music offers a variety and exciting melodic metal formula with powerful vocals (courtesy of singer Pekka Heino, also known for his stint with BROTHER FIRETRIBE) and killer guitars.

Tides charted in Leverage's home country, Finland, reaching the general Top 30 in the first 2 weeks of release.

“This is not a boy band, a studio band, a wannabe-band, project band or whatever fake band. Leverage is a true and honest heavy rock band, for the love of heavy rock!”, states guitarist and main songwriter Tuomas Heikkinen and you can bet these guys are definitely one of the musical upcoming brightest stars around.

Leverage are: Pekka Heino (vocals), Tuomas Heikkinen (guitar), Torsti Spoof (guitar), Marko Niskala (keyboards), Pekka Lampinen (bass), Valtteri Revonkorpi (drums).

Check out the band by listening to 'Superstition', a sample from Tides and judge on your own!

Leverage spent the entire months July and August in the studio wrapping up the follow up to Tides. The new album will be released on Frontiers in early 2008, with a re-release in selected European countries on the band’s monster debut album Tides in mid-price line with bonus tracks. Stay tuned for more updates.
