Live Leather Hounds – Capturing KNIFE’s Electrifying Live Fury!
Formed in 2019, the band overcame the challenges of the pandemic and cemented their presence in the scene once more with their recent studio album, ‘Heaven Into Dust’ (2023), which German Rock Hard described as “one of the strongest (black)speed albums of the year.” In the same year, KNIFE also demonstrated their raging live performance at major festival shows like Wacken Open Air and Rock Hard festival and just impressed with their furious set at Rockharz Festival in 2024.
Recorded at the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen and the Obertraubling Eventhalle Airport in Regensburg, ‘Live Leather Hounds’ showcases an energetic and organic mix of KNIFE’s discography. The EP opens with the demonic “White Witch / Black Death,” followed by the swift transitions of dark, throbbing punk chords and dual tracks that sustain the tension on “Inside The Electric Church,” while “Black Leather Hounds” offers rough vocals infused with furious elements of heavy and black metal. The next track, the latest raging album title track, “Heaven Into Dust,” delivers the sharpest speed metal and is topped by the dashing punk attitude of “I Am The Priest.” The EP wraps up with the studio track and cover “Metalized Blood.” Accompanied by the vocalists of Desaster and Sacred Steel, the track guarantees the authentic sound of raw extreme metal.
‘Live Leather Hounds’ captures KNIFE’s raw energy and relentless intensity, promising an electrifying experience for fans of extreme metal. Get ready to be blown away!
KNIFE on the release of their EP ‘Live Leather Hounds’:
“With the release of the ‘Live Leather Hounds’ EP, we want to say thank you to all our fans for the support for the past five years. After the pandemic, we played many shows and met so many great people, so we thought that capturing these moments was a fine way to raise the KNIFE to the true Black Leather Hounds. The EP gives you the true raw KNIFE experience, no bullshit.
So, join the pack! The Leather Hounds are still on the prowl! See you on the road.
Ferli, Gypsy, Laz, Vince Nihil“
