LEAH – Kings & Queens Album Teaser Streaming
December 17, 2014, 10 years ago
The symphonic metal artist Leah has released an album teaser video for her upcoming album Kings & Queens that will be released on January 30th in Europe and on February 3rd in North America through Inner Wound Recordings.
Leah about the new album:
"Kings & Queens is an important album to me, as the songs cover a range of emotions, musical styles and lyrical themes. One theme in particular is the historical and metaphorical grip around our throats we feel from top-down agendas that threaten our freedoms. It seems to be a never-ending game of chess between those who demand power and those who would preserve freedom. It's the theme of every good fantasy book and film, and the message rings true for even our modern world. In addition, the the line-up and stellar musicianship of the guys who came on board this project heightened the sheer epicness and caliber of the music itself... This has been my most enjoyable and rewarding project to date."
Featuring musicians such as Timo Somers and Sander Zoer of Delain, and Barend Courbois of Blind Guardian and Vengeance, this 14-track masterpiece emerges as the heaviest of all her releases. Dabbling in worldly Celtic, middle eastern, and New-Age flavors, while lyrically laced with epic imagery of dystopias, fallen empires, spiritual warfare, love and destiny, this album proves to be very promising and is expected to be received by fans and critics as one of the top symphonic metal albums of the year.
The artwork for Kings & Queens was created by Jan Yrlund at Darkgrove Design (Delain, Apocalyptica, Sirenia).
