1) Leander is a Hungarian metal band from Budapest. At first the multi-faced talent, Leander Köteles started the band as his solo project in 2009, where he did his first video, „Csak Te / Only You” which led to a great success in Hungary over the internet.
After hearing about this video Attila Vörös – a young and well-known guitarist in Hungary, who later joined the legendary band from Seattle, called Nevermore – had responded to Leander Köteles via the internet and had joined the project later on.
In the beginning Attila only had done some guest solos for Leander Köteles - in the songs „Viharom Tavaszom / My Storm, My Spring” and „Ördög Naplója / Devil’s Diary”), but later they countinued the project as a duo more than succesfully. During this time they wrote a cover to the worldwide known Hungarian classic, „Szomorú Vasárnap / Gloomy Sunday” which was written by Rezső Seress. The duo also did a cover to the American pop star, Rihanna’s „Only Girly”, and did their first own material together, called „Szívidomár / Heart Tamer” which all three had a great success and a record amount of views and reviews. While Attila was touring in the States, Leander Köteles did a cover to Lady Gaga’s „Bad Romance” which was probably the most viewd and succesfull video int he project’s history at that time.
In September/2010 a new twist came to the project, after doing a sold-out show in the capital city – with nearly 600 people in a club that was designed for approx 150 - which made them decide forming a band insted of going on as a project. After this show the guitarist József „Jozzy” Takács (Wendigo/String Theory) and the drummer Márk Maczák joined the band, which no longer was a project anymore. The band got named Leander, since the project itself had done such a great job already under this name.
The first real debut was a mini tour in March/2011, where all the shows were completely sold-out, and where Leander did a show in the capitol city for approx 900 people.
Soon after the drummer, Márk Maczák decided to leave the band due to his studies.
He was replaced by Béla Budai who’d been playing with Attila Vörös in a PanterA tribute band, called Vulgar Display Of Cover for a while.
Fortunately this change did not affect on the band’s quickly raising success which was shown by all the gigs, highly succesfull festival shows, and another capital city show in Zöld Pardon – which is highly recognized place in Hungary – where more than 1200 people were singing the songs and having fun.
In July, 2011 the band got signed by Sony Music, and booked a 2 month length tour over the whole country and a show in London.
And this is all just the beginning…

2) Brothers Daniel and Lars Kranholdt founded Leander in 2005 after years of personal musical growth in north-east Germany. With an early interest in electronic music, Daniel started gigging with a singer in Hamburg, and Lars' attention was focused on electro-acoustic music.
With Lars’ strengths with songwriting and guitar complimenting Daniel's talented beats, melody and effects, Leander was an obvious fit showcasing soft and distorted guitars, broken beats and fragile singing.
Being geographically separated (as Daniel lives in Stuttgart and Lars in Hamburg), the two released their self-titled debut EP after two weeks of collaborative work. This warranted a considerable amount of attention and paved the way for work including: “Galaxie 500” on Finderpop (Japan), “Soundtrack For Your Wedding” on Aerotone (Germany) as well as remixes for artists including: Au Revoir Simone, Norton, MAI and Superboy. Within two months they went on to record their album Pass Fail.
While the songwriting and recording process is only done by the two brothers, Leander is supported by a additonal guitarist and drummer in concert.

Leander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is my hole
In the middle of nowhere
You will find me at home
Sunshine has never been mine
Left me alone, I'm so alone
I wrote my departure plan
Can I start again?
Throw me up
Tear me down
Assemble me now
I'm here without you
The memories have died in my arms, in my eyes
Pain coursing through my veins
Your screams circle around me
I just want to fly away
Never-ending space and time
You don't have the right
To deny your god, to judge your god
We're all made of miraculous light
Let it out from yourself, right now
Will you ever come to me?
Or am I left to wonder here?
Will you ever set me free
From the me that is underneath
I left my past behind me
I had enough of promises
I sacrifice myself for you again
See you then on the other side
When you finally realize
That you don't need this desperate life
The time has come to say goodbye
Chemical process
Physical necessities
Biological effects
This would be us?
From where do the emotions come?
What is the blood made of?
From where does the love come?
Are these only materials?

They yearn to escape, wanting to fly away from their current circumstances. The idea of never-ending space and time is presented, highlighting the vastness and uncertainty of life. The singer asserts that nobody has the right to deny or judge their god, suggesting a belief in one's own divine nature. The lyrics encourage the listener to release their inner light, emphasizing the power and potential within everyone.
In the later part of the song, the lyrics delve into deeper existential questions. The singer wonders if there is a chance for someone to come and provide solace or freedom. They express frustration with the past, mentioning broken promises. The line "I sacrifice myself for you again" could imply a willingness to make sacrifices for others, even if it means compromising their own well-being. The song concludes with a farewell, suggesting that the time has come to let go and move on.
Overall, the lyrics of "Reborn" explore themes of isolation, longing for change, and existential contemplation. It touches on the desire to start anew, the search for inner light, and the complexities of human emotions and relationships.

In the middle of nowhere
Amidst a desolate place, far from any known location
There is my hole
There exists a void within me
You will find me at home
That is where my true self resides
Sunshine has never been mine
The joy and brightness of life has eluded me
Left me alone, I'm so alone
Left me isolated and deeply lonely
I wrote my departure plan
I meticulously crafted my escape strategy
Prepared to get born again
Ready to undergo a transformation, a rebirth
Can I start again?
Is it possible for me to begin anew?
Throw me up
Lift me up to new heights
Tear me down
Break me apart, dismantle my old self
Assemble me now
Put me back together, rebuild me in this moment
I'm here without you
I exist in this world, detached from your presence
The memories have died in my arms, in my eyes
The past experiences have faded away, lost in my embrace and within my gaze
Pain coursing through my veins
Agony flowing intensely within my bloodstream
Your screams circle around me
The echoes of your cries encircle me
I just want to fly away
I yearn to escape and soar far from here
Never-ending space and time
Infinity stretching out in all directions
You don't have the right
You lack the authority or entitlement
To deny your god, to judge your god
To reject or evaluate the divine being you believe in
We're all made of miraculous light
Each of us composed of extraordinary radiance
Let it out from yourself, right now
Release and express it from within your very being, without delay
Will you ever come to me?
Will you ever approach and be with me?
Or am I left to wonder here?
Or am I abandoned to ponder here without answers?
Will you ever set me free
Will you ever liberate me from my constraints?
From the me that is underneath
From the hidden aspects of my inner self
I left my past behind me
I relinquished my prior experiences
I had enough of promises
I grew tired of unfulfilled commitments
I sacrifice myself for you again
Once more, I give up my own desires and needs for your sake
See you then on the other side
Encounter you there, beyond this current existence
When you finally realize
At the point when you truly comprehend
That you don't need this desperate life
That you are not reliant on this despairing existence
The time has come to say goodbye
The moment has arrived to bid farewell
Chemical process
An interaction governed by chemical reactions
Physical necessities
Essential physical requirements
Biological effects
Impacts and outcomes originating from biological systems
This would be us?
Are we merely defined by these elements?
From where do the emotions come?
From what source do these feelings arise?
What is the blood made of?
What components comprise our vital fluid?
From where does the love come?
What is the origin of this affection?
Are these only materials?
Are they solely composed of physical substances?

A semmi közepén Ott van az én vermem. A semmi közepén Megtalálsz engem otthon. A napsütés soha nem volt az enyém Elhagyott engem egyedül, annyira egyedül vagyok. Megírtam a végrendeletem. Felkészültem az újjászületéshez. Újra kezdhetem? Dobjál fel Szakíts le Gyűrj össze most Itt vagyok nélküled Az emlékek meghaltak a kezeimben, a szemeimben. Fájdalom folyik keresztül a vénáimon. A sikolyod körbe vesz engem. Én csak el akarok repülni. ...

I love this because you tap on the bass, and you do it so well. From a bassist's standpoint it feels good to see the bass get some more recognition. Props on the whole preduction, as well. Flawless.

Hát ez nagyon jó kis szám lett. - Már vártam. - Az egész szám annyira korrektül van felépítve, hogy minden egyes részletben el lehet merülni, mint az óceánban. A nyitó zongoratémától azonnal lúdbőrzött a hátam, félelmetes hangulata van. Sok sikert, mert látszik rendesen odatettétek magatokat. :) - Kíváncsi leszek arra az EP-re most már nagyon. - AAAAAAAaaaatis pedig énekel. :D

Srácok ez megint eszméletlen jó lett. Most már 100%, hogy jelenleg nincs nálatok jobb csapat az országban. Mellékesen a debreceni koncert a technikai szarságok ellenére is hatalmas élmény volt. Remélem sok hasonlóban lehet még részem, de a jövőben már valami nagyobb helyen :) Csak így tovább!!!

Mindig akad egy új meglepetés tőletek! Lassan nyugodtan ki merem mondani, hogy Magyarország legjobb zenészei vagytok... az, hogy a legjobb zenekara, az biztos. Minden elismerésem így tovább vagy csak jobban!
Andrea Zsófia Szabó
Én is lemaradtam a szegedi koncertről. Épp műtéti sebbel lábadoztam... Majd legközelebb. :) A szám ismét a várt magas színvonalat hozta! Csak így tovább srácok!

Egyszerűen megunhatatlan! Mély érzéseket előhozó mestermű! Remélem hamarosan élőben is hallhatom:). Csak így tovább srácok!

Magával ragadó, csontig hatoló, fojtogató, hidegrázás monumentális egyvelege ez az alkotás. Elsőre fel sem fogja az ember, hogy mi történt és minél többször hallgatom, annál inkább torkon ragad. IMÁDOM, iszonyatosan jó!!!!
