Canadian Symphonic / Celtic Metal artist Leah just released her new single ‘Before This War is Over’ that will apear on her upcoming album.

Leah states: As usual, I’m taken back to old days and times, when wars were an everyday occurrence, and yet we now find ourselves in a battle for the hearts and minds of mankind today. I love to mix old history themes with modern struggles because these themes are timeless and will never expire as long as we are human (let’s hope AI doesn’t take over, right! As you know, I’m a big lover of freedom and liberty and for many years now, I’ve felt we’re all in a big spiritual war; good against evil. The message of the song is that even in the midst of war, we can have victory. Even in the presence of struggle and great evil, we can prevail, thrive and WIN. So, though it’s a heavier lyrical theme, the real message is victory.

This song has Timo Somers on guitars and bass (ex-Delain), Sander Zoer on drums (Delain), and Oliver Philipps in orchestration and production (Everon, Phantasma), and Leah wrote the music, lyrics, and sing all vocals. Cover Artwork by Jan Yrlund.

Leah has unleashed a new version of her track ‘Sleeping Giant’ which was released earlier this year that she did with Mark Jansen. The new version has a more acoustic renaissance vibe, with no harsh vocals. Leah mentions that she’s currently in the middle of writing some new material, which is taking some time due to her business, Mythologie Candles.

Leah says the next single will be heavy returning to a heavier Folk Metal sound. You can check out the folk version of ‘Sleeping Giant’ below.

Sleeping Giant represents what many of us have witnessed and experienced in recent times. Our society has been asleep at the wheel. And when we become complacent, things happen that we wouldn’t otherwise allow. But if you keep poking the giant with a stick, eventually he will awaken… and he might be grumpy! And then you better run.

Light is the fifth single from Eye of Melian’s upcoming debut album “Legends of Light”. “Legends of Light” will be released on June 21, 2022.

The band, which takes its name from the character Melian in Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. The following excerpt imaginatively and beautifully embodies the essence and spirit of what the music of Eye of Melian aspires to be.

“Melian was a Maia, of the race of the Valar. She dwelt in the gardens of Lórien, and among all his people there were none more beautiful than Melian, nor more wise, nor more skilled in songs of enchantment. It is told that the Valar would leave their works, and the birds of Valinor their mirth, that the bells of Valmar were silent and the fountains ceased to flow, when at the mingling of the lights Melian sang in Lórien. Nightingales went always with her, and she taught them their song; and she loved the deep shadows of the great trees. She was akin before the World was made to Yavanna herself; and in that time when the Quendi awoke beside the waters of Cuiviénen she departed from Valinor and came to the Hither Lands, and there she filled the silence of Middle-earth before the dawn with her voice and the voices of her birds.”
The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien
