LEVERAGE появились на сцене в 2006 году, самостоятельно выпустив дебютный альбом “Tides”. Их смесь симфо-метала с мелодик-хард-роком и элементами прогрессив-метала произвела на публику сильное впечатление, и лейбл Frontiers заключил с группой контракт на выпуск второго альбома “Blind Fire” (2008), а к следующему диску “Circus Colossus” (2009) LEVERAGE перебрались на Universal/Spinefarm. Вскоре после его издания группа прекратила активность, оставив фэнов томиться в ожидании продолжения.
В 2018 году LEVERAGE вернулись с новым составом, куда вошли новобранцы Kimmo Blom (ex-URBAN TALE, RASKASTA JOULUA) на вокале и Mikko Salovaara на гитаре. Они сначала выпустили EP “The Devil’s Turn”, а затем полноформатник “Determinus”. Эти работы показали, что группа по-прежнему способна охватить широкий стилистический спектр. Это снова не пауэр-метал, не AOR и не трэш, а просто тяжелый рок с впечатляющими мелодиями. Аналогичного результата достигает и новый альбом “Above The Beyond”.
Новый релиз финских хэви-пауэр-металлистов LEVERAGE “Above The Beyond” увидел свет 15 октября 2021 года. На новом альбоме LEVERAGE продолжают демонстрировать современный тяжелый саунд, на который повлияли гиганты прошлого, но который, в то же время, несет отпечаток их собственной индивидуальности. В песнях много цепляющих мелодий, сыгранных и спродюсированных совершенно безукоризненно.
