The enigmatic northern parts of Europe, particularly Scandinavia, harbor a unique cycle of light and darkness, shaping the region’s rich tapestry of myths, legends, and fairy tales. From this fertile soil emerges heavy metal, a genre deeply intertwined with the ethos of the land, serving as a conduit for catharsis and healing. Swedish mosh battalion LEACH harnesses this potent energy in their latest single and lyric video, “Slice Of Life,” inviting listeners to shed their burdens and embrace the moment.
In a world where shadows linger and demons lurk, “Slice Of Life” offers a respite—a chance to cut through the darkness and find solace in the raw power of music. LEACH vocalist and guitarist Markus reflects on the song’s essence, stating, “It’s about shaking off what’s eating away at you, about confronting that sense of unfulfillment head-on.” With its punkish energy, straightforward rhythms, and crushing metal undertones, “Slice Of Life” serves as a sonic salve for the soul.
The single marks the third and final release from LEACH’s forthcoming album, “New Model Of Disbelief,” set to drop digitally and on CD/LP formats on April 19, 2024. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Christian Silver at Studiomega (known for his work with Sepultura, Kreator, and Soilwork), the album promises to push the boundaries of the Swedish metal sound while delving into themes of revolution, social injustice, and inner turmoil.
