Philadelphia-based singer LEIANA has uploaded the song "Suffer", featuring guest appearances by Rob Caggiano (ANTHRAX) and John Tempesta (THE CULT, WHITE ZOMBIE). The track appears on Leiana's forthcoming third album, "Lucky #3", which lands in stores on February 23, 2010.

"'Suffer' is a tune from a record that I released myself," commented Leiana. "Rob Caggiano heard it when we first started writing together, and he expressed an interest in re-working it to take it in another direction. We ended up keeping some cool elements of the original tune, and with Eddie Wohl's help we made the song truly come alive. Rob got some killer tones on the guitar and bass, while John Tempesta added a really good feel on the drums. It's rockin now!"

 Hailing from Philadelphia Leiana is currently in the studio working on her 3rd full length CD with producer/artists Rob Caggiano (Anthrax,Cradle of Filth) due out early 2009.  This female-fronted act already has a rapidly growing fan base with two self-produced and self-released studio albums already under her belt and countless tour dates in the states and overseas.  Leiana's original style ranges from all-out punk to sarcastically fun to kick your ass hardcore with just a hint of girl-group charm//
