Leather Laces deliver their blistering debut single ‘Rocket Launcher’

For their initial offering ‘Rocket Launcher’, Italy’s Leather Laces unveil a riotous, riff-heavy burst of cyberpunk chaos that feels like Ministry scoring a mecha showdown. It’s a first strike in what promises to be a campaign of musical disruption, uniting the force of distorted six-strings with the relentless drive of analogue synths and programmed artillery.

Emerging from the lore-heavy Devisal Universe, Leather Laces operate like a paramilitary sound unit, taking cues from retro-futuristic warfare and early industrial metal, but adding a cinematic polish that gives the track its distinctive sheen. It’s disciplined noise, crafted with care by a crew that knows each other too well to miss a beat.

The structure is compact but volatile. Think rhythm patterns that hit like a drone strike, with guitars roaring like jet engines while synth lines trace target locks across the sky. The militaristic aesthetic is embedded in the DNA of the song, right down to the carefully placed vocal samples and digital percussive sequences.

But perhaps what makes ‘Rocket Launcher’ resonate beyond its concept is its clarity of vision. This is a track that knows exactly what it is: a sonic offensive and genre-smashing mission built on camaraderie and calculated aggression. 

As the starting salvo from a unit that refuses to play by traditional rules, ‘Rocket Launcher’ leaves a crater in its wake. Leather Laces have launched, and there’s no turning back.
