review heavy metal leah
The Glory And The Fallen is a pleasant listening experience. Canada’s Leah presents songs rooted in perseverance, romance, and inspiration wrapped in an otherworldly, fantasy mindset. On Glory And The Fallen, she is joined by current and former Delain members (guitarist Timo Somers, drummer Sander Zoer) and Epica’s Mark Jansen brings his growling vocals on “Sleeping Giant”.
The result is Leah’s trademark Celtic/folksy tunes wrapped in a symphonic metal soundscape. The instrumentation is tastefully mixed, letting the lighter elements to mesh well with the electric guitars. Opener “Archangel” has that classic symphonic metal glistening bounce to it – similar to classic Delain, but the notch is raised higher as Leah’s signature vocals power the medieval textures to “No More Fear” with hooks aplenty.
“Revive” is another highlight with complementing vocals from Syr, it’s dramatic, Celtic presentation a song of bringing and ended relationship back to life while “Little Stars” has a sad, nostalgic feeling to it with melancholic chords. “Speak To Me” has an airy, soothing vibe which definitely reminds of Enya.
