Swedish heavy rock institution Greenleaf will release their seventh album, titled Hear the Rivers, on Nov. 9 through Napalm Records. Among the many reasons this news should make you excited is the fact that Karl Daniel Lidén recorded it. Even just the drum sound immediately bears his signature to the point that, having had a bit of a preview, I knew it was him before I even read it. The guy adds a sense of space to a sound like no one else, and he brings to Greenleaf once again this time around and the results are nothing short of phenomenal. That’s not of course to discount the work of the band itself, which has only grown more stellar as the current lineup has settled in around founding guitarist Tommi Holappa.

I don’t want to say to much about it because we still have two months before November gets here, but the short version is make sure you save some room on your top albums list.

Greenleaf will tour with Berlin’s Samavayo to coincide with the record release, as the PR wire informs:

GREENLEAF – “Hear The Rivers” Comes Into The World In November 2018

Album Pre-Orders Start Now

On November 9th, the mighty Swedish Stoner force GREENLEAF present their latest album “Hear The Rivers” via Napalm Records.

This album turns out to be quite the mesmerizing bag of tricks that seizes the Swedish Stoner sound and enriches it with so many wonderful things, like the unforgettable riff-o-rama ‘Good Ol`Goat’ or the slow soul feeder ‘We Are The Pawns’. An absolute gem of an album that is best kept in the family – which is why former GREENLEAF- and Dozer drummer Karl Daniel Lidén (Craft, Bloodbath, Crippled Black Phoenix amongst others) produced it.

GREENLEAF summarize this record in the following way:

” ‘Hear The Rivers’ is our full length number 7. Lucky number 7? Well, we like to think so! All the songs give us huge smiles on our faces and we are extremely proud of what we have done! As always we try to take our listeners on a trip with our music, make them wanna bang their heads, dance, smile and cry (of happiness of course).
This is easily the biggest sounding record we have ever done and we hope people will enjoy it as much as we do!”

The full track listing of Hear The Rivers reads as follows:
1. Let It Out!
2. Sweet Is The Sound
3. A Point Of A Secret
4. Good Ol´Goat
