This album was in the works for almost two years!
The Quest is LEAH's latest release; a bit different from Kings & Queens, with a stronger Celtic & Fantasy connection, some prog rock elements, ethereal ambiance, combined with traditional Symphonic Metal elements.

The artwork for The Quest was inspired by LEAH's immersing herself in fantasy and fiction during the writing of this album.
She wanted to make the visual imagery more about the music, the culture, and the visual representation of the songs, rather than all about the songwriter and vocalist.
She considers her voice just one of many instruments which creates the overall sound. Leah wanted this artwork to compliment her vision of taking you on a real journey.
Thanks to the talent of Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Studios, wåe were able to make this idea, this vision, possible.

From the rugged coast of British Columbia, Canada, metal songwriter LEAH is turning heads across the globe. Fans describe her as “the metal Enya” and describe her songs as “Loreena McKennitt meets Delain”. In a sea of mediocre symphonic metal, LEAH stands out not only with her magnetic twist of Celtic and World influences but also her well-known ethereal vocals.
Most recently, LEAH raised $87,000 through Indiegogo and her shop to launch her new album, "The Quest" on October 5th, 2018. This new album has a much deeper Celtic and Fantasy connection, prog moments, yet still embraces classic Symphonic Metal.
LEAH sets the bar for both independent artists and the symphonic metal genre alike, which is often dependent on touring as the primary means of gaining new fans and marketing. LEAH achieves her success having never done a tour in her entire musical career.
She hopes to tour one day, but in the meantime plans to continue her path as a recording artist and songwriter.
