Leather Laces arrives from LL HQ, Italy, with “Intercontinental Ballistic Music,” a nine-track album that transforms industrial metal into a brutal cinematic experience. Created after eighteen months of isolation and sonic engineering inside Devisal Studios, the project presents a dystopian world where mechanical force, human resistance, and technological control collide through crushing guitars, aggressive synths, and relentless rhythms.
The album establishes its mission immediately with “Extruder-Destroyer,” a track that introduces listeners to the cold machinery and destructive energy shaping the Leather Laces' identity. Across songs including “Mind Control Techniques,” “Rocket Launcher,” and “Deployed to Hell,” the group explores themes of domination, conflict, and the fragile boundary between human intention and machine-driven power. Every composition feels designed as part of a larger narrative built around tension, pressure, and survival.
Leather Laces is not a traditional band. Emerging from the Lincoln & Lloyd universe, the anonymous collective appears behind riot gear and tactical imagery, creating an atmosphere where identity becomes secondary to the message. This deliberate mystery strengthens the project's industrial philosophy, presenting the music as a force, an operation, and an artistic statement instead of a conventional performance.
The sound of “Intercontinental Ballistic Music” combines Synth Metal precision with the overwhelming weight of Industrial Metal. Distorted guitars, mechanical percussion, and dark electronic textures create a sonic environment that feels both futuristic and connected to underground industrial traditions. Tracks such as “Marching In The Fog,” “Heavy Machine Gun,” and “Massive Dark Raid” continue the album’s uncompromising assault, while “Midnight Extraction Point” builds anticipation toward the closing chapter, “Unit Goes Home.”
Behind the fictional militia concept are skilled musicians from Italy who use their chemistry to construct a powerful and unified sound. The project features two guitar players alongside two synth and drum machine operators, blending organic aggression with programmed intensity. Their connection within the wider Devisal Universe allows Leather Laces to expand beyond music into a complete dystopian mythology.
“Intercontinental Ballistic Music” represents a fearless exploration of industrial music’s darker possibilities. The album does not seek comfort or easy entertainment; it challenges listeners through atmosphere, aggression, and imagination. With its military-inspired aesthetics and uncompromising production, Leather Laces delivers a release that feels like a transmission from a fractured future, proving that extreme electronic metal can still create powerful stories of resistance, technology, and human conflict. Its impact remains intense, memorable, and impossible forever.
