The Devil's Turn 31/7/18

Leverage landed on Finland's Rock scene in 2006 with the release of their debut album, ‘Tides’, which generated a buzz with its blend of Symphonic and Progressive Metal and Melodic Hard Rock. They were signed by Frontiers in 2008 for the release of a second album, ‘Blind Fire’, with its follow-up, ‘Circus Colossus’, being issued via Spinefarm a year later. They became inactive soon after, but now, following nearly a decade in hibernation, Leverage is back with a new singer and guitarist, with a forthcoming digital EP, ‘The Devil’s Turn’ (see today's Video Of The Day) due to be released via Frontiers on Monday 27th August, serving as both an appetiser for a forthcoming album (out early 2019) and an introduction to the new line-up consisting of Kimmo Blom - vocals, Mikko Salovaara - guitars, Tuomas Heikkinen - guitars, Sami Norrbacka - bass, Valtteri Revonkorpi - drums and Marko Niskala - keyboards, who made their live debut recently at the John Smith Festival in Laukaa, Finland.
