American Midwest heavy metallers Sacred Leather will release their new album Keep The Fire Burning on December 12, and today we are premiering the music video for their new single “Fallen Angel.”
Bassist Magnus LeGrand said about the track: “When we wrote ‘Fallen Angel,’ it immediately felt like a callback to an era when metal songs had both hooks and teeth — something big, melodic, yet still dangerous. That track set the stage for what Keep the Fire Burning would become. Dee’s lyrics step inside Lucifer’s head, turning his fall from grace into something deeply human — the loneliness, the pride, and the weight of one’s own choices.”
“Visually, I wanted the video to conjure the haunting, biblical imagery found in the lyrics themselves — smoke, fire, and mystery, all wrapped in that classic ’80s metal grandeur. Think ‘Holy Diver’ meets ‘Dream Warriors,’ but filtered through our own world, with its own identity.”
Sacred Leather’s 2017 debut, Ultimate Force, marked them as a serious voice in the new wave of traditional heavy metal. Keep the Fire Burning stays true to their foundations while sharpening their melodic sense and leaning further into big, memorable choruses. Influenced by the legacy of Judas Priest, Accept, and early W.A.S.P., they channel classic metal with a modern, cinematic edge: heavy, direct, and unapologetically committed to the style that shaped them.
