Leeched

Leeched have carved out an uncompromising niche in the UK's extreme music scene, drawing from grindcore and metalcore to craft a sound marked by relentless aggression and raw energy. Hailing from Manchester, the band are recognised for their visceral approach and their ability to merge caustic intensity with precision musicianship.

The group's recent discography is a testament to their prowess, with releases such as the powerful live EP Nothing Will Grow From the Rotten Ground from October 2020, as well as their acclaimed full-length To Dull the Blades of Your Abuse. Tracks like "Earth and Ash" and "Guilt" showcase Leeched's ability to channel bleak themes into concise, punishing compositions, resonating deeply with fans of underground metal and hardcore.

Leeched’s live presence is equally formidable. In September 2026, they are set to headline a concert at The Star & Garter in Manchester, joined by support acts FLESH CREEP and ONLY PAIN—a line-up that promises an electrifying night for fans of extreme live music. For followers of grindcore and metalcore, Leeched remain essential listening and a compelling force on stage. Stay connected with the band to keep updated on their latest gigs and tour dates.
