Leah - Eric Peterson Guests On New Track
Eric Peterson of Dragonlord and Testament fame is a guest vocalist on an original Leah song entitled "Dreamland" taken from the new EP Otherworld, which is now available for streaming in its entirety here. You can hear this new collaboration as well as the other tracks of the new release.
Eric Peterson is currently recording the new Dragonlord record and can reveal that Leah will be joining him on a track similar to "Dreamland", and will also be lending her angelic voice for the choir vocals on the record.
Leah states: "It was a real treat to have Eric's unique vocals on this track. My original demo went from having a mellow, Clannad-type feel to now almost dancing on the line of black metal. I hope this is the first of many collaborations to come!"
Adds Eric Peterson: "I've known Leah for about 12 years, we've been friends since 2001. I jammed with her about eight years ago in Vancouver, and at the time it didn't work out because I was busy with Testament and Dragonlord, but we stayed in contact. This time around, Leah contacted me to play on her new record and I thought she wanted me to play guitar. But when she told me she wanted me to sing, I was honored because Leah is the kind of person that will sing right in the middle of a store and sound amazing, she's that kind of vocalist. She sent me the song and right away I knew exactly what I needed to do. She took my pattern, wrote some lyrics for me, we went into the studio and it was done! It was the easiest thing I've ever done. It's really great to finally be able to work together with Leah and put out this great track. I can hear this song in a movie! A couple of people I've let hear thought it was the soundtrack to the new Snow White movie! Ha!"
Leah's debut album Of Earth & Angels was nominated for Best Symphonic Metal Album on Metal Storm Awards 2012.
