Ian Leding released a new single, “Leviathan,” on May 2, 2025. Originally written in 1991 during the dawn of German gothic rock, this dark, atmospheric track has finally seen the light of day over 30 years later, and it does so without losing any of its haunting essence.

“Leviathan” is steeped in melancholic textures, with Leding’s somber vocals navigating a sea of brooding instrumentation. The lyrics paint a picture of despair and existential struggle — “We are done… suffering, suffering” a poetic exploration of darkness that refuses to shy away from the bleak. The slow-burning intensity and gothic romanticism are a clear homage to the roots of the genre, yet the production feels fresh, bridging the past with the present.

One thing that makes “Leviathan” stand out is its sense of authenticity. Rather than trying to modernize the track for contemporary trends, Leding embraces its raw, gothic identity, offering a powerful experience for listeners who appreciate the genre’s darker side.
