American metal band SACRED LEATHER will see the release of their second full length studio album next month. These guys remind me more of the British metal acts, somewherez between Judas Priest and Saxon. The first couple of songs are full of power and speed speed, “Spitfire At Night”, and the next one “Phantom Highway”, but it’s not all as heavy and fast as this, Keep The Fire Burning is not all full speed ahead, as noticed with favorites “Wake Me Up”, the single “Fallen Angel”, the heavy ballad “Tear Out My Heart”, and closing piece “Mistress Of The Sun”. Really like the massive guitar sound and production of this. Love the album cover-art, courtesy of Nico Brausch. *Check out the band info below, as well as the 2 videos, and links below.

Forged in the fires of classic heavy metal and baptized in the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll rebellion, Sacred Leather stands as a defiant reminder that true metal never dies. Hailing from the American Midwest, the band delivers an unrelenting assault of twin-guitar fury, thunderous rhythms, and commanding vocals that channel the essence of leather, chains, and midnight highways. 
 
Following their 2017 full-length debut Ultimate Force, which established them as torchbearers of traditional heavy metal’s resurgence, Sacred Leather return with their long-awaited sophomore album Keep the Fire Burning, due December 2025 through King Volume Records and Wise Blood Records. The album is both a declaration and a promise—rekindling the spirit that started it all while pushing their sound into sharper, more melodic, and more anthemic territory. 

With Keep the Fire Burning, the band expands on their reputation for electrifying live performances and unflinching authenticity. Drawing from the steel-plated legacy of Judas Priest, Accept, and early W.A.S.P., Sacred Leather blend classic metal tradition with cinematic flair, evoking the neon glow of midnight highways and the danger of the unknown.

Dee Wrathchild – Vocals
