Leah Covers "The Dragonborn Comes" Skyrim Theme

Vocalist Leah - described affectionately by her fans as "the metal Enya" - is recognized in the music world for her work with musicians such as Eric Peterson of Testament and Dragonlord, Timo Somers of Delain, Troy Donockly of Nightwish and many others.

With three releases under her belt ("Of Earth & Angels" [2012], "Otherworld" [2013] and "Kings & Queens" [2015]), Leah is now working on an upcoming, currently-untitled album featuring many of the players above, in addition to former Delain drummer Sander Zoer and Barend Courbois of Blind Guardian.

While fast at work on said record, Leah enjoys trying her hand at other musical endeavors and covers. Her most recent cover comes in the form of the main theme, "The Dragonborn Comes," from the wildly popular video game "Skyrim" of The Elder Scrolls series.

"As you know I've been writing a brand new Celtic metal album due out this fall," says Leah.
"I was looking for inspiration and tried reading some books, but never found my muse, until my fans recommended I start playing 'Skyrim.' So I did, and I really ran with some of those themes in my songwriting! Not only did the storyline inspire me, but the soundtrack itself is epic, as you already know. I ended up getting distracted and thought to myself, 'Hmm... I wonder what it would sound like if I Leah-fied the Dragonborn theme song?' I decided to try it and see how it turned out for fun. I sent it over to my producer in Germany and he really liked my version, so I decided to release it for you! I hope you like it, and I hope the song stays true enough for The Elder Scrolls fans, while also giving a new feminine spin on it!"
