The musical handwriting and well-honed mastery of guitarist Tommi Holappa, who has been a pioneer and pillar of the European stoner rock scene for more than 25 years, shines clearly through. This is perfectly complemented by the soulfulness, intuitive sense of melody, and depth of character that the vocals of classically-trained singer Arvid Hällagard bring to the sound of Greenleaf. Apart from world-class vocal lines and massive riffs with electric fuzz-power, Greenleaf have put extra thought into the themes of \"The Head \u0026amp; The Habit\", which lift it's lyrics far above much of the often cliche-ridden genre. As the album title implies, the new songs resemble symbolic short stories that revolve around emotional struggles and even mental illness. Written by the vocalist, the lyrics reflect real life experience as Hällagard works with people who suffer from problems with drug abuse and psychological health. Heavy rock afficionados Greenleaf were initially formed as an informal project by friends that were already playing in other bands including such notable names as DOZER, LOWRIDER, and DEMON CLEANER. The Swedes simply wanted an outlet for their mutual love of '70s-era hard rock and proto-metal while being free from the expectations and pressures of their main bands. Despite intentions to keep Greenleaf purely for pleasure, the undiluted joy of creating catchy songs led to everyone demanding for that material to be recorded. This eventually resulted in the release of a self-titled debut EP in 2000, which was quickly followed by first full-length \"Revolution Rock\" only a year later. Having turned from an on and off fling to a full-time love affair, the years of rotating line-ups ended and Greenleaf's newfound focus and stability was crowned by their fifth album \"Trails \u0026amp; Passes\" (2014), which featured new permanent vocalist Arvid Hällagard. This milestone also marked the beginning of a new phase of the band. With \"The Head \u0026amp; The Habit\", Greenleaf combine an awareness of past triumphs with mature craftsmanship, showcasing their confidence in how to rock stronger, harder, and more to the point than ever before. The Swedes melt thunderous riff-magic, enrapturing and soul-heavy vocals, frenetic rhythms and driving attacks into a ear-catching, sparkling alloy of hard rocking anthems!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathe Breathe Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Avalanche\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Different Horses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Wolfe In My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e That Obsidian Grin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sirens Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh Dandelion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Tricking Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e An Alabastrine Smile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 884388890930 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Magnetic Eye \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 10.24.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798678032605,"sku":"884388890930","price":47.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4452682-3439912.jpg?v=1758305911","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/fr-ca\/products\/greenleaf-the-head-the-habit-preorder-1","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
