It features 10 stellar tracks such as the first single Hitman with special guest Dennis Stratton (ex-Iron Maiden) which peaked at number 2 in the UK iTunes heavy metal chart, the second single Cat’s Eye Night, and now the new single of the title trackThe Screwtape Letters,which takes no prisoners with the band’s own brand of heavy rock ‘n’ roll.


The Screwtape Letters - Watch it below:

The new single was heavily influenced by the book of the same name, which was of course written by C.S. Lewis, a story of correspondence between two devils. The book was given to bass player Tim Atkinson by his father when he was a teenager and had always held fascination with him especially as Tim’s father was a priest.


Following on from a successful appearance at the Motörhead weekend in Blackpool, Leader of Down are the main support for Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons at their O2 Academy Islington show on Wednesday May 18th.


“Although the year is barely three months old The Screwtape Letters is sure to be one of 2022’s key releases.” - Midlands Rocks
