Bio:
Leverage is a Finnish hard rock / Melodic heavy metal band that comes from the area of Jyväskylä. Your style is reminiscent of Rainbow and Stratovarius, they even call him a melodic heavy rock.The band was founded in 2002 by Pekka Heino, Tuoppi Heikkinen and Torsti Spoof. Together they began to work on songs. In 2006, she released her debut album Tides, which is influenced by the metal of the 1980s.Could there be anything more cliched than that? And what kind of name for a metal band is Leverage anyway? It’s a TV-show! And what is that cute singer of that other band doing with a bunch of sorry ass wanna-be metal guys such as this lot? Right on, stop reading.You know what. We’ve made three albums that kick ass. Tides (2006), Blind Fire (2008) and Circus Colossus (2009). Don’t take our word for it, read the reviews or even better, tune up and open your ears. You might be surprised.And you know what, also. We’re not a power metal band. We’re not an AOR band, for God’s sake. We’re not a tribute to the 80’s band. We don’t fall into a category, not because we couldn’t but because we don’t want to. For us it’s about making and playing music with heart and soul and having a blast doing it. Been like that since day one and will remain so.We’ve got our own style, our very own way of making heavy rock in the 2000’s. Our stamp says Leverage. No more needed.
Album:
Leverage continues to showcase its contemporary heavy rock sound on new album "Above The Beyond", which takes influences from the golden past while still offering an own unique personality. There are plenty of ear-catching melodies delivered skillfully with pristine production on the band's latest album.Finland's Leverage is not a power metal band nor an AOR band and definitely not a tribute to the 80s. Leverage doesn't easily fall into a genre category because for the band, it's all about making and playing music with heart and soul and having a blast doing it. Leverage thus has developed an own style of making heavy rock and that is the mission. The sonic stamp says Leverage. No more needed.Leverage first landed on the scene in 2006 with the independent release of the debut album "Tides". With a blend of symphonic metal and melodic hard rock with some progressive metal twists, the guys created a buzz on the scene and were signed by Frontiers for the release of their second album "Blind Fire" in 2008, before moving to Universal/Spinefarm for their next album "Circus Colossus" (2009). The band became inactive not too long after the release of that third album though, sadly leaving fans craving more music from the band.In 2018, Leverage returned with a new line-up featuring the amazing new singer Kimmo Blom (ex-Urban Tale, Raskasta Joulua) and new guitar player Mikko Salovaara. They first released the EP "The Devil's Turn" and then the full-length album "Determinus". The band showcased still being able to cover a pretty wide ground musically. Again: not power metal nor AOR nor thrash, but just great heavy rock with stunning melodies. That same result is also evident on the new record "Above The Beyond".
