Over the past few years, LEYKA from Mainz have earned a reputation as one of the undiscovered gems of the German core scene and are now ready to strike again with the support of their new label GOLDEN TIDES. This is evidenced not only by their sold-out concerts and festival appearances (including Dystopia Festival, Mammut Festival, Moos Meadow Festival) but also by the German tour planned for autumn 2025!
With ‘Coffin Nail’, Leyka prove once again that they draw no boundaries between the various core genres and are in no way inferior to international heavyweights such as August Burns Red, Bury Tommorow and Make Them Suffer. On their first two EPs ‘Resurrection’ (2024) and ‘Requiem’ (2023), they dealt with inner conflicts and the pursuit of personal development. This time, a raw wave of instrumental rage and critical lyrics follow against the increasing right-wing populist discourse and the brutalisation of social values currently raging in society.
"When our guitarist Yves sent me the first instrumental demo, I realized from the first chorus that this song was what we needed. The opportunity to lyrically package the cognitive dissonance in the face of the ice-cold political discourse in an aggressive sound. And to finally give a face to the feeling of powerlessness and frustration." - Tom (Vocals)
‘Coffin Nail’ is a powerful reckoning with the exploitative super-rich and Neo-liberal politicians who sow blind rage and evade all responsibility. A call to those who are fed up with the destruction of our environment and the robbing of our empathy, resources and future.
The accompanying music video was filmed at the band's own ‘Dystopia Festival 2025’ in Rüsselsheim. Instead of complaining about the lack of cohesion in society and the scene, LEYKA started building up their own structures and supporting the scene years ago: Their self-organized festival is already one of the absolute scene highlights in the Rhine/Main region and announced ‘Sold Out’ this year. The band's own Spotify playlist ‘German Metalcore’ provides hand-picked recommendations for new songs and releases every week.
LEYKA are the first signing on the new metal/core label at GOLDEN TIDES and have a lot planned for 2025: After various summer festivals, an extensive tour of Germany with Dead Phoenix is planned. The band is currently working on more songs and their debut album, which is planned for 2026.
