Ian Leding’s “Leviathan“, released May 2, 2025, is not just a new single, it’s a time capsule. The track was originally written in 1991, but remained unrecorded for decades, waiting for the right moment. Now is that moment. Revisiting this gothic rock relic with reverence and creative clarity, Leding has delivered a studio version that retains the moody spirit of the early ’90s but with the depth and precision of modern production.
The song builds slowly, with a low, menacing undercurrent and Leding’s haunting vocal performance. Atmospheric guitars and melancholic textures swirl around the listener in layers, suspended in time. Leviathan sucks you in, it’s dark, poetic, and unmistakably personal. The release is captivating, striking a balance between nostalgia and freshness with impressive subtlety.
This is not just a song, it’s a tribute to a sound that helped define a generation of gothic rock. Want to know about new releases in the rest of 2025? Follow the artist on Facebook and Instagram.
