DEGREED – The Leftovers Volume 1 (2025) *HQ*
Swedish melodic rockers DEGREED are releasing a new EP titled “The Leftovers Volume 1“. These 6 songs are not ‘leftovers or discarded songs’, in fact for the last year and a half the band has been released new songs as standalone singles, and now with their record label Frontiers Music agreed to release them as an EP.
“The Leftovers Volume 1” includes the just recorded song “If It Wasn’t For Me”, an anthemic AOR tune with that early DEGREED sensibility from their origins. Among the other songs we find the dynamic modern melodic rocker ‘Good Enough’, the uptempo catchy ‘Love Your Enemy’, and ‘Wildchild (Tribute To Alexi Laiho)’, a tribute to the late Children of Bodom frontman, easily the heaviest song DEGREED ever recorded.
“GET UP!!” makes justice to its title with its energetic punch, melody and anthemic chorus. Last track “Hard To Be Human” is an atmospheric ballad, with a really cool atmosphere and a certain vibe of Def Leppard recent era.
As said, hardly ‘leftovers’, but very good songs from this talented band.
