New York, NY (Top40 Charts) While uncertainty distills throughout the live-music industry and beyond, British Camden-Town based rock-duo LEONTAS have taken isolation as an opportunity to conjure their latest offering of percussion and riff-driven excellence; 'Black Magic,' with a captivating visualiser video to accompany.
Built around the construct of a bad relationship, 'Black Magic' is a reflection of the dark side of the magic present, when the rose tinted glasses are firmly on, self-destruction ensues, but the intensity causes hunger for more.
"We've both felt this in our past and wanted to create a story in this song to bring this to life. The song has a positive vibe to it to juxtapose the true narrative of feeling stuck and trapped." - LEONTAS
With over 100 live shows / festivals under their belt, worldwide media / radio support, and thousands of streams off the back of such a modest discography, Alex (vocals / guitar) and Scott (drums / vocals) continue to evolve their dynamic and energetic sound, proving that two minds, multiple amps, and a drive to sound louder, more aggressive, and more expressive, are all the ingredients needed to deliver their unique "tight sound brimming with swagger".
Stream, Share, and Feature 'Black Magic' as of Friday 19th June 2020; 10:00am UK.

LEONTAS are a rock duo formed in London 2015 consisting of singer and guitarist Alex Munteanu and drummer Scott Collier after meeting at an audition for a separate band in Camden. After the two bonded, realising their musical styles fitted perfectly together LEONTAS was born in Camden's Creation Studios.

In December 2016 they released their debut EP 'With Love' which set their foot on the scene and only hinted of what is to come. Their comeback was in 2017 when they released their double single Stand Out, recorded live it captures the band's dynamic and energetic vibe from their live performances and further solidified their unique signature sound.
