Leeched confirm details of debut album; release new single

Manchester hardcore trio, LEECHED, have today announced details of their debut full length titled You Took The Sun When You Left. The dark, bleak and brutal tracks are set atop of today’s despairing and desolate industrialised landscape. The album will be released on August 24, 2018 via Prosthetic Records.

Today, the first track to be taken from the album is premiering via Metal Hammer, and will be available across all streaming and digital platforms from tomorrow. The band have also just confirmed a number of shows supporting Employed To Serve, to add to their ever-growing list of live dates.

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, LEECHEDmay 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.

Currently finishing up a run of shows in mainland Europe, LEECHED return to the UK to play The Black Heart in London this weekend, and will be kept busy up to and beyond the album release with further live appearances - including new dates with Employed To Serve.
