I FINALLY ordered Leonov's CD yesterday from Nordic Mission and can't wait til it arrives! They've been making a bit of a buzz lately and just toured with Dalit and Mantric which I wish I could've seen. I believe they are a Christian band though if not, they're certainly connected with the Christian scene.

I was just listening to this around the time when you posted it, oddly enough. Sounds pretty neat. I'm not even sure what genre to call it.

Whoa. I would call this post-black/doom. It sounds really good. I dig it quite a bit.
Anywhere to read lyrics? Not to pit secular vs Christian music, but this would earn extra innovation points if it came from the latter.

Nice! Sounds like they share the same guitarist as Dalit or at least some aspect reminds me of them.

I saw them live and they don't share the same guitarist. Though they opened the day, they were pretty much the best of all bands. They use skrewdrivers on their strings to gain certain sounds. Their background projection was very atmospheric too. Very good show. The vocalist also knew very well to keep tone.

I received the LP from Leonov yesterday as a birthday gift. On the back cover says 'God is good'. So I assume they are believers.

Kerrick, thanks for posting this. I really like what I've heard. I wish the CD wasn't so challenging to get here in the states.
Their guitar sound reminds me of someone. Not sure who. The only thing I can think of right now is Royal, but I'd have to go back and listen to that CD to see if that's what I'm thinking of.
And, happy birthday revivedbylight!

I'm glad you like! I'm not familiar with Royal but perhaps I should check them out... Well, the CD isn't too bad to have shipped to the US... It was $24 including shipping for me. And Nordic Mission is a good spot that I don't mind supporting.

No there weren't any lyrics included.
Thanks guys for the birthday wishes. Though my birthday was in November we celebrated it last weekend.

You can take a listen and see what you think. Royal isn't metal, but I sure used to love that album. Need to go back to it. They were fronted by a brother and sister; the dude used to be in Extol. Perhaps that's enough to allow it to pass for this metal forum! [band] By the way, seeing Dalit and Mantric live would be awesome! Seems like Northern Europe has been getting some great shows. There doesn't seem to have been anything around me lately.

I'm listening to this album right now and am really enjoying it.
(I checked out that Royal song and it's pretty good but not quite my thing I think.)
