Leech – Unknown Horizons
Biography
Swiss progressive rock / Instrumental Band
Leech was formed in 1995 by Marcel Meyer (Guitar, Piano), Urs Meyer (Guitar, Piano) and Serge Olar (Drums). Right from the start the band devoted itself to experimental instrumental music - rhythmic figures are developed and connected with floating melodies - this all fuses in an epic sound landscape where time becomes irrelevant.
Just one year after the formation of the band, the first Leech album “Instarmental” (1996) was released. This was only recorded on two sound tracks, live and upolished. More than fifty perfomances in Switzerland and Germany followed, receiving broad positive feedback. At the same time the band was working on their second album “Soundtrack to an Individual Emotion Picture Mindmovie” which was released in 1998. Numerous concerts in Switzerland and bordering countries followed the release of this second album.
In 2000 Leech presented their third album “Zerotonine Days” on which for the first time and exceptionally, there was also a track with vocals. In the following two years Leech was in an extensive phase of experimentation and there were multiple projects with guest musicians from various different musical directions. These projects were presented live but were never recorded. During this phase the band members moved in different musical directions and it was decided to put Leech as a band on hold.

Leech is actually one of the best post-rock bands ever, together with The Seven Mile Journey and Long Distance Calling, they are just pure and perfect.

The difference is that The Salem, Oregon Leech was amazing and their music actually meant something, while the rest of these European bands called Leech make nothing but hipster garbage.

The difference between the two bands is one of them is unlistenable garbage and the other one's called Leech.

Why do black metal fans and post rock fans even need to be arguing? They're incomparable styles and there's nothing wrong with either of 'em. One thing I will concede though is that Leech is a poor post rock name but an awesome black metal name.
