In a landscape where genre tags feel increasingly meaningless, Leather Laces arrive with ‘Rocket Launcher’- a track that doesn’t just bend boundaries, it incinerates them. Born from the Devisal Universe and sharpened in the crucible of friendship and firepower, this Italy-based outfit emerges as something more than a band: they’re an audiovisual strike force.
From the first thunderous hit, ‘Rocket Launcher’ feels like an invasion. The twin-guitar assault is merciless yet calculated, forging serrated edges atop a spine of mechanical percussion and war-ready synths. You can hear the legacy of ’90s metal pounding beneath the surface, but instead of drowning in nostalgia, the band weaponises it- infusing each moment with urgency and momentum.
What sets this apart from the usual electro-metal experiments is its coherence. Rather than trading off between synth and shred, Leather Laces weld the two into one cybernetic organism- circuit board and steel-toe boot. The result is a mission briefing disguised as music: all tension, no filler.
Recorded at the sonic laboratory known as Devisal Studios, Rocket Launcher feels engineered for impact. Whether you’re in it for the nostalgia-tinged militarism, the maximalist production, or the thrill of something truly unpredictable, this debut hits its target with unflinching accuracy.
With this release, Leather Laces don’t just promise more- they guarantee escalation. Whatever they’re planning next, consider this the warning shot.
