Manchester hardcore trio, LEECHED, have today released a new track from their forthcoming debut album, with an accompanying music video. The track is titled The Stone and The Steel; the video is premiering via Revolver right now. The full-length titled You Took The Sun When You Left is heavy with bleak and brutal tracks set atop today’s despairing and desolate industrialised landscape. The album will be released on August 24, 2018 via Prosthetic Records. Pre-order here.
WATCH THE STONE AND THE STEEL VIDEO VIA REVOLVER
The video was recorded in their practice room in Manchester by Shaun Hodson of Loki Films.
The band comments: "The Stone And The Steel is one of our personal favourites from the album. It's no frills and straight to the point. The same applies to the video, and it was perfect as a single because of this. The track covers themes of oppression and the decay of life. We wanted it to be as hard-hitting and violent as possible. The song doesn't follow a standard structure it progresses in way that felt natural when it was written."
Barely a year after they formed, and with an incessantly intense EP - Nothing Will Grow From The Rotten Ground - already under their belts, LEECHED are taking a fast-paced swipe at the world around them. Bands sharing a distaste for the status quo, or a dissatisfaction for the world around them may not be something new, but few bands are doing it with the vitriol and vehemence that is offered up on You Took The Sun When You Left.
Taking influence from every dark and dingy corner of extreme music, LEECHEDmay be moving at break-neck speed, but they're a band who are quickly finding their feet - both in the studio and out on the road.
Fresh from an unyielding set at Techfest this past weekend, LEECHED are primed for their next run of live shows which take them up to the album release, with further shows planned for later in the year.
