I don’t know if you saw, but in addition to Magnetic Eye recently reissuing most of Greenleaf‘s Small Stone Records era albums — 2003’s Secret Alphabets (discussed here), 2007’s Agents of Ahriman (reissue review here) and 2012’s Nest of Vipers (review here) — the Swedish rockers will also put out a special 25th anniversary edition next year of their self-titled debut EP (discussed here), originally released in 2000 through Tommi Holappa‘s Molten Universe imprint (anybody got a CD copy of the Molten Universe Vol. 1 compilation? I’ve been looking for years), long out of print and the kind of vinyl you see tagged with words like “rare,” priced accordingly.

The band have also just announced Spring 2025 European tour dates as they continue to support this year’s The Head and the Habit (review here), the latest in an ongoing thread of killer full-lengths. I’m keeping my fingers crossed they make the trip over for Ripplefest Texas / Desertfest New York as the closely-associated Dozer did in 2024. Greenleaf spent the bulk of this Fall on the road co-headlining with Slomosa, and as they’ll play both thus-far-announced Sound of Liberation anniversary parties and tour Australia and New Zealand over the winter, it seems only likely that more shows will be forthcoming. In the meantime, this tells us that High Desert Queen (from Austin, Texas) will trek abroad early next Spring, and that Belgium’s Gnome will likely have plenty going on as well.

This is eight shows. It’s eight good ones. Sound of Liberation posted the following:
