🔥 Flicker and Flame — The Final LRDEE Chapter Before My Solo Hiatus

Flicker and Flame represents the last LRDEE album before I stepped into a personal solo hiatus — a quiet break to breathe, reset, and find myself again. It was only later, when Danie van Schalkwyk approached me with the idea of creating something new, that the spark returned. That moment became the foundation of Leo Roland and the Fireverse.

But Flicker and Flame… that was our final LRDEE masterwork.

This album tells the full cinematic journey of a young South African man torn from his family by the outbreak of war. He begins as a teenager in love, marries young, and becomes a father — until duty calls him away. Across the album, his letters home, fading memories, and the music that keeps him alive guide him through battles, trauma, unlikely friendships, and a devastating blast that makes his wife believe he never made it back.

Years later, when he returns home, he finds a life that moved on without him — a wife who rebuilt her world with a gentle, dependable man, and a daughter who no longer recognises him. Broken by the truth, he turns away completely, choosing silence over reopening old wounds.

Every track carries a fragment of that journey — the love, the loss, the war, the hope, and the moment the flame fades into darkness.

Flicker and Flame was LRDEE’s last chapter before everything changed.
And from that ending, a new era rose — Leo Roland and the Fireverse.

Leo Roland is a South African singer-songwriter, producer, and storyteller whose music fuses raw emotion with cinematic power. As the creative heart behind LR Distribution Records, he delivers anthemic, soul-stirring songs that blend acoustic warmth with the intensity of rock — a style he calls acoustic metal.

His concept-driven albums, including Better Together, Flicker and Flame, and Phoenix, explore the full spectrum of human experience — from love and loss to faith, resilience, and rebirth. Each project forms part of a larger narrative arc, told through evocative lyrics, layered harmonies, and immersive soundscapes that capture the heart and imagination.

Produced and recorded under his own direction at LR Distribution Records, Leo collaborates with a network of gifted South African musicians to craft music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. His signature storytelling draws listeners into cinematic worlds where emotion meets melody, and every song tells a story that lingers long after the final note.

Beyond the studio, Leo lives a life of dual purpose — a “butcher by day, musician by night” — balancing his role as a business leader with his relentless pursuit of artistic expression. His journey is one of grit, gratitude, and growth, proving that true passion never fades — it only burns brighter with time.
