Leah

Data updated on 2025-05-03 17:47:33 UTC

Canadian Celtic metal songstress Leah McHenry, who operates under the mononym Leah, emerged in the early 2010s with a captivating sound that blended the operatic scope of symphonic heavy metal with ethereal, fantasy-driven folk and world music. Often collaborating with contemporaries such as Eric Peterson of Testament and Dragonlord, Timo Somers of Delain, and Troy Donockley of Nightwish, Leah has self-released several albums, EPs, and singles, including 2015's Kings & Queens and the 2019 holiday LP Ancient Winter.

Sometimes referred to as the "the metal Enya", the Vancouver native began releasing material under the Leah moniker in 2012 with her debut album Of Earth & Angels. The Otherworld EP arrived in 2013, followed by her acclaimed sophomore full-length effort, Kings & Queens. A string of single releases, including 2017's "The Dragonborn Comes," a rousing version of the theme song from the massively popular RPG video game Skyrim, preceded the arrival of her third long-player, 2018's The Quest. In 2019 Leah released her first collection of holiday material, the evocative Ancient Winter. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
