Kotimainen melodista heavy rockia soittava Leverage teki alkuvuodesta paluun uudella singlellä ”Red Moon Over Sonora”. Nyt seuraa jatkoa uuden kappaleen sekä yhtyeen rumpali Valtteri Revonkorven käsialaa olevan lyriikkavideon ”Wheels From Hell” muodossa. Biisi on nostettu yhtyeen 27.8.2018 Frontiers-levymerkin kautta ilmestyvältä ”The Devil’s Turn” -EP:ltä. Leveragen uusi kokoonpano tekee ensimmäisen live-esiintymisensä 21.7.2018 John Smith Rock Festivaaleilla.
Kitaristi Tuomas Heikkinen kommentoi tulevaa EP:tä sekä “Wheels From Hell” -kappaletta:
The songs on the EP were written over a period of several years, with ‘Dead Man’s Hand’ being the oldest song and ‘Children Of Skyfall’ the most recent. With those two and ‘The Unicorn’ plus ‘Wheels From Hell’, the EP covers a pretty wide range musically, but were chiseled into a sound and form we feel good about. It’s all heavy rock, not any form of power metal. Not that there’s anything wrong with prog metal or power metal or whatever, but right now we feel that we want to capture something that is recorded with a live feel, with no exaggerated choirs or orchestrations all over the place, etc., so that we can deliver the stuff live also without using background tapes, etc. and to be able to have some freedom too.
The way we’ve been writing with new guitarist Mikko (Salovaara) is that we’ll come up with a ”theme”, like let’s write a song about this or that. With “Wheels From Hell” we aimed to write a fast paced rock song about a herd that steamrolls over anything in its way. And also, we wanted it to be an old school band thing with double guitar solos and all that. It just started taking shape pretty fast. We had a great time with this one right from the get go, the thing’s got a great drive, and Kimmo nailed the vibe perfectly with the aggressive and somewhat over the top (in a good way) vocals. This song will be great live too.
