“30 minutes of pummelling, groove-laden metal.” – BeatRoute
“Pacifist” is a straight to the point no nonsense heavy hitting debut.” – Extreme Metal Television
“Leave the Living can clearly write and play angry, politically-charged, thrash-tinged groove metal.” – Echoes And Dust
“The album started with their track “Let Go” which I thought was a great opening track for the album. They really showed off their talent with this track and it prepared the listeners for how the rest of the album is.” – Canadian Beats
“the Red Deer fivesome are happy to get down and dirty with their dark, breakneck-fast, unrelenting brand of metal…Leave The Living have kicked the metal market in the scrotum with a seriously hard record that’s worth listening to if pacy extreme metal is your thing.” – #Five Albums

Red Deer, AB groove metal five piece Leave The Living bring forth a blue-collar work ethic when it comes to making the ground shake before them. Gearing up for their 2015 debut album ‘Pacifist’ to follow up their 2012 self titled EP, LTL is looking forward to breaking necks with their punishing riffs and incredible breakdowns backed by wrenching screams and a heavier more brutal groove assault.
“We hope that old fans of the band are going to enjoy how much heavier the music has gotten since the EP and how much everyone in the band has grown as musicians. At the core we want people to really enjoy the new single and the new album. Tap their feet, move their heads, have a visceral response to it.” says vocalist Justin Shadows. “The lyrics are also inspired from a combination of things such as life experiences (Word of A Whore), insecurities (Undone), things I’ve read about (Manifesto) or any other manner of things that made me want to write. The meaning behind the album is that if we give up our right to express ourselves and dissent from popular opinion, then we deserve to live in a police state. That is it. We have the right to question our governments and ourselves. If we choose not to then we have no right to complain when the act in ways contrary to our beliefs.”
Evolving significantly since inception, LTL has taken major steps to bring their songwriting to a higher level, collaborating closer as a band to make a heavier sound plus map out a new album and more that fans old and new, locally and internationally will be anxious to hit the mosh pit to support.
“We sat down with the songs we had completed and tried to map out how we wanted the album to flow. We kept reworking it until we were happy with it. You can expect a lot more music for sure. We already have a bunch of new music in the works.”
