Leviathan is Ian Leding’s Single Out Now
The track begins with the pulse of helicopter blades slicing through an acidic, hypnotic drone, immediately creating a sense of disorientation.
It’s as if the song is pulling you into a twilight zone, a parallel dimension where reality becomes blurred. The muffled, almost padded quality of the sound only deepens the immersion, making it feel like you’ve crossed into a crepuscular dreamscape.
There’s a strong gothic influence running through the track, reminiscent of the dystopian vibes found in Blade Runner. The introduction stretches out, holding you in suspense before the vocals arrive. When they do, they cut through the dense atmosphere with a low, resolute tone—like an oracle delivering a cryptic message from another plane of existence. The steadiness of the voice adds to the hypnotic quality, reinforcing the track’s trance-like momentum.
One of the most striking moments is the bridge, an atmospheric interlude marked by unexpected rhythmic shifts, which creates a sense of unease while showcasing Leding’s compositional maturity. Just as you’re drawn into this unsettling calm, the song picks up again, building toward a powerful finale.
The closing guitar solo is a raw, emotive outburst, cutting through the darkness like a scream emerging from the abyss. It’s fierce and expressive, lifting the track to a dramatic peak before fading back into the shadowy void from which it emerged. Ian Leding has composed a tune that’s both unsettling and mesmerising, marked by a distinct vision and masterful execution.
