“Sacred Leather Releases New Single Infused with Classic Heavy Metal Sound”
Sacred Leather, the Midwest Heavy Metal torchbearers, have unveiled the third single, ‘Fallen Angel,’ from their upcoming album ‘Keep The Fire Burning,’ scheduled for release on December 12th through King Volume Records/Wise Blood Records. With a reputation for classic heavy metal, Sacred Leather has returned with a powerful track that delves into the depths of the prince of darkness.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Fallen Angel,’ bassist Magnus LeGrand expressed that the song reminisces on a time when metal music was characterized by impactful melodies and fierce intensity. The lyrics of the track delve deep into the complexities of Lucifer’s descent from grace, portraying themes of loneliness, pride, and the consequences of one’s decisions. The accompanying music video aims to capture the haunting yet biblical essence of the lyrics through imagery of smoke, fire, and mystery, reminiscent of the grandeur of 80s metal classics like ‘Holy Diver’ and ‘Dream Warriors,’ reimagined in Sacred Leather’s unique style.
The band’s debut album, ‘Ultimate Force,’ which made waves in the underground music scene, paved the way for their return with a traditional heavy metal masterpiece that pays homage to an era dominated by leather-clad rockers and heavy riffs. Setting the stage for their upcoming album, Sacred Leather released explosive singles ‘Spitfire At Night’ and ‘Phantom Highways,’ giving fans a taste of what to expect on their upcoming record.
‘Keep The Fire Burning’ presents a tracklist featuring songs such as ‘Resurrection,’ ‘Wake Me Up,’ ‘Flatline,’ and ‘Mistress Of The Sun,’ in addition to the lead single ‘Fallen Angel.’ The album promises to deliver a blend of electrifying live performances and authentic heavy metal, drawing inspiration from bands like Judas Priest, Accept, and early W.A.S.P. Sacred Leather is known for infusing classic metal traditions with a touch of cinematic flair, capturing the essence of midnight highways and the thrill of the unknown.
As the band gears up for the release of ‘Keep The Fire Burning’ in December 2025, fans can anticipate a record that not only pays homage to the roots of heavy metal but also pushes the boundaries of their sound into melodic and anthemic territories. Sacred Leather remains dedicated to preserving the spirit of true metal, offering listeners a journey through the golden age of heavy metal legends.
