Description
In just a very short time, Manchester hardcore crew, Leeched established themselves as one of the most buzzed about, up-and-coming band in the UK. After listing to their caustic dystopia of chaotic hardcore, Nasum-precision grind and a menacing atmospheric undercurrent akin to early Godflesh, it's easy to understand why. Their debut full length, You Took The Sun When You Left will be released on August 24th, it's 11 tracks of dark, bleak and brutal tracks set atop of today's despair and desolate industrialized landscape. Prior to the album's street date, the band spent the Summer playing festivals throughout Europe as well as appearing on opening slots with UK stalwart's Employed To Serve and the US's crustcore, Full of Hell.Barely a year after they formed, and with an incessantly intense EP - Nothing Will Grow From The Rotten Ground - already under their belts, LEECHED are taking a fast-paced swipe at the world around them. Bands sharing a distaste for the status quo, or a dissatisfaction for the world around them may not be something new, but few bands are doing it with the vitriol and vehemence that is offered up on You Took The Sun When You Left.Taking influence from every dark and dingy corner of extreme music, LEECHED may be moving at break-neck speed, but they're a band who are quickly finding their feet - both in the studio and out on the road.
