DESCRIPTION:
Spawned out of the K-town hardcore scene, and originally named Virgin Suicide, Leathervein have been playing on/off since early 2004. The band started out as a conventional hardcore punk-outfit drawing references to early 80'ies american hardcore and later K-town acts such as Amdi Petersens Armé, Asbest and Young Wasteners.
After realeasing a self-titled demo Leathervein started off in another direction. The style became influenced by N.W.O.B.H.M bands, doom-riffs and piercing guitar solos.

Leatherveins self-titled debut album (out on Hjernespind Recs.) has style-wise been compared to the likes of Zeke, Turbonegro, early Hellacoptors based on a hardcore foundation mixed with Judas Priest-styled guitar work.
