I’ve been putting off doing this review for a while for the simple reason that I’ve not been able to subjectively listen to the music and formulate an opinion.

Who the hell are Leverage? I hear you thinking. They, my dear readers, are a diamond in the rough. The Finnish quintet released their sophomore album Blind Fire early this year, following up on 2006′s Tides. Composed of Pekka Ansio Heino on vocals, Tuomas Heikkinen and Torsti Spoof on guitars, Marko Niskala on keyboards, Pekka Lampinen on bass and Valtteri Revonkorpi on drums, the band brings classic hard rock with an edge on their latest release on Frontiers.
