Her genre is "Celtic fantasy metal" and her albums could easily serve as the soundtrack for shows like Game ofThrones or Vikings. Her fans refer to her as the "metal Enya" and she embodies the archetype of the "warrior queen"to thousands of dedicated listeners around the world.Now, Leah is set to release her fifth album, "Ancient Winter", which represents a slight departure from her symphonicmetal. "Ancient Winter" is a more earthy sounding album filled with new instrumentation such as fiddles and uilleannpipes which give it a beautiful harmony of middle eastern feeling and Celtic folk and fantasy.Ancient Winter represents a new approach to "holiday music" as it celebrates winter themes in a way that is sure togive it a wider appeal. This is not a "Christmas album". Its an emotional journey into transcendent ideals that willinspire any listener from anywhere.Once again, Leah brought in an international team of musical contributors which created the international flavor ofthis album. Guests include Troy Donockley (Nightwish), Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie), Shir-Ran Yinon(Eluveitie), Oliver Philipps (Everon, Phantasma) and more!
