Metal/Review Leather Laces - Marching In The Fog (feat. _SHOE)
Born as an elite strike force within the Devisal narrative, Leather Laces are more than a band—they’re a sonic insurgency. Blending dark synth, industrial metal, and cybernetic ritualism, they channel encrypted rage into every distorted riff and pulse-driven beat. Their sound carries the weight of the _SHOE protocol, the infection of the Shadowcrafters, and the collapse of logic under machine control. Every track is a tactical maneuver, a digital warzone...
"Marching In The Fog," their third single, further solidifies Leather Laces' position as a cyber-militant force in the underground scene. The song, which features _SHOE, is a gripping exploration of a dystopian environment where distorted guitars, industrial synths, and structured percussion programming come together to provide a menacing and eerie soundtrack.
The tune progresses like a ceremonial march, as implied by its title. As though moving toward an invisible foe, the tempo is purposeful, with heavy footsteps in the fog. The mood, rather than pace, creates the tension: guitars grind mechanically, percussion hammers like a distant army closing in, and layers of static-laced synths crawl into the mix. The end effect is a soundscape that sounds more like a mission briefing set to music than a song.
The fog thickens in the middle. The march gives listeners a brief moment of confusion before bringing them back into formation as it fades into a digital haze of jumbled sounds and ethereal textures. The listener is pulled back into the center of the action when the rhythm reappears with twice the impact.
“Marching In The Fog's” ability to balance tension and violence is what makes it so captivating. Instead than depending on extreme intensity, it weaponizes restraint to create an unavoidably somber environment. Leather Laces has produced a tune that is dark, belligerent, and completely immersive, like infiltration music for the digital age. It is a combination of industrial assault and movie soundtrack.
