Canadian Symphonic / Celtic Metal artist Leah is currently working on a new album. She reported the following.

It’s time for a music update and some news since it’s been a while and things are progressing!

As you probably know by now, it’s official that I’m working on a new album and am deep in the writing process.

As of right now, I have 6 songs written and in pre-production status. That means the song structures are finalized and much of the orchestration, and now it’s time for guest musicians to play over all the demo parts and do the “real” recordings. My final vocal recordings are usually last.

I’m already onto the 7th song now!

I’ve been posting several little teaser clips of my writing process over on Instagram.

As for who I’m working with, it’s still a work in progress since there are many songs to go still and not all guests are finalized yet.

So far I can safely tell you I’m working once again with Oliver Philipps (Everon, Phantasma) who is producing and doing orchestration, and also Timo Somers (ex-Delain) on guitars & bass. Timo‘s taking a more active role in arrangements this time, which is a lot of fun! Also I’ll be having Sander Zoer (ex-Delain) back on drums once again!

Leah‘s new album, “Ancient Winter” is released on November 15th 2019.  “Ancient Winter”  is streaming in its entirety at below. Leah commented:

A lot of people don’t realize I have a Youtube channel. Every day I get comments on my channel “this singer should have way more subscribers than she does!” and I think people don’t realize I have a channel… well now you do!

If and when I publish more music videos… I’ll publish them there! Plus I love to add videos of my personal travel and adventures with my family….

I just uploaded a FULL album stream of “Ancient Winter” there… just remember to hit the subscribe button and ring the BELL!

“Ancient Winter” is one of the most anticipated holiday albums of the year. Written & performed by Celtic-Fantasy artist LEAH, you’ll be taken to another era as your soul is immersed in Medieval tapestries, Celtic instruments, and Worldly flavors of the Middle East. Most of all, LEAH‘s ethereal, yet earthy vocals will enchant you as you get lost in the music of another world.

Leah – “Ancient Winter”

Leah forgoes the symphonic metal in her latest album that takes the listener on an atmospheric journey through winter.

Leah McHenry certainly has a thing for recording and producing her own material.  The Canadian started back in 2012 with her debut, Of Earth and Angels, the success of which led to two ep’s in 2013 and finally another full length, Kings & Queens in 2015.  From recognized musicians including Troy Donockley (Nightwish), Eric Peterson(Testament), Barend Courbois (Blind Guardian), Timo Somers (Delain), Chen Balbus (Orphaned Land), and Sander Zoer (ex-Delain) to producers like Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Evergrey), Leah’s projects have attracted great talent that complement her amazing voice.

For her fifth album, Ancient Winter, Leah recruited musicians who could bring more of the older instruments into the mix that includes the hurdy-gurdy, Uilleann pipes, and a host of stringed instruments.  Guest appearances this time include: Troy Donockley (Nightwish) on Uilleann pipes, Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie) on hurdy-gurdy), Shir-Ran Yinon on fiddle/strings (Eluveitie), Oliver Philipps (Everon) on guitar and male vocals on “Puer Natus”, and Rupert Gillett (renowned string musician) on cello and salaw.  Once again Leah financed the album herself on her own website for this new approach to what some consider ‘holiday music’ but is really more of a celebration of winter.
