Leylines is a 4 piece technical metal project featuring musicians from several notable bands in the death metal/hardcore music world.
The band features drummer Michael Ranne (Through The Eyes Of The Dead, ex My Bitter End, etc) Frontman Jonathan Carpenter (ex vocalist of The Contortionist, Notochord, Foreign Waves)and Guitarist Jesse Blanchette( Conforza, Graveborn).
Leylines started as a project that Michael originally had intended to do with some musicians from bands he had previously toured with, but after writing/recording drums for 2 tracks nothing ever materialized so he sent his raw drums to Jesse after sitting in a dropbox file for 2 years. Jesse wrote guitars to them both in a day…one of them being the band’s debut single Blindspots’ and hence Leylines was born. Jonathan came into the fold about a year later.
The band can best be described as technical, chaotic, groove laden music utilizing a more non traditional approach to writing songs …they aim to blend off time signatures with heavy grooves, fast blasts, and thought provoking lyrics delivered with a blend of frantic screams, and ground shaking lows for fans of bands like Ion Dissonance, Carbomb, Frontierer, Humanity’s Last Breath, and Danza.
Self titled EP out on Silent Pendulum Records 10/11/24.
