Leon Alvarado - The Wicked Forest (2026)

The album showcases an impressive lineup of guest musicians, including Billy Sherwood, Jon Davison (Yes), and Johnny Bruhns (CIRCA). With its blend of lush atmospheres, dynamic keyboards, driving progressive percussion, and soaring vocals, The Wicked Forest continues Alvarado’s legacy of creating evocative, concept-driven musical experiences.

Following the critical success of The Changing Tide, Alvarado’s upcoming release expands his repertoire with seven new compositions that deliver a contemporary progressive rock sound while honoring the classic spirit of the genre.

The Wicked Forest is dedicated to the memory of Johnny Bruhns, honoring his musical contributions and lasting friendship. He sadly passed away before the album was completed, but his spirit lives on in the music.
