Metal Music Blog

Ok, I know. This blog is about metal music, but let’s call this post as an off-topic post. Bloggers tend to write off-topic posts every now and then, so I am doing it right now.

If you are one of us, the children of the 80’s, you probably remember bands like Helloween. Hard rock music was popular in those days, and now it looks like a new hard rock wave is coming. Finnish band Leverage is coming in that wave. They play 80’s hard rock music with today’s style, and their music really sounds like in the 80’s; positive and optimistic.

Leverage has released two albums, namely Tides (2006) and Blind Fire (2008). Tides is a very well made record wit high quality sounds. Songs are full of beautiful melodies and the quality of the sounds if just superb. Songs like Superstition and Fifteen Years are very good examples of what can be expected from Tides album. Even though there are good songs in the Tides album, some songs are a bit boring. Anyhow, Leverage provides mostly music you want to hear more than once.

The second album of Leverage, which has recently been released, is called Blind Fire. The new album is more heavy, but also more emotional. Music sounds stronger than in Tides, but can still be categorized as melodic hard rock. Leverage is an interesting band whose members are very skillful. Check the video below and tell us what you think about Leverage.

Leverage is located in Jyvaskyla in Finland. They sing in English and their current record company is Frontier Records. Leverage line-up is
Pekka Heino - Vocals
Tuomas Heikkinen - Guitar
Torsti Spoof - Guitar
Marko Niskala - Keyboards
