Leverage is the fourth studio album by the German folk metal band Lyriel.

[4] Leverage contains two songs "The Road Not Taken" and "Parting" that are based on lyrics by Robert Frost and Charlotte Brontë respectively[5] On the extended edition there is a version of "Everything's Coming Up Roses" by Black.

[6][5] Leverage received several positive reviews in Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom.

It was however noted that the "album does lose some steam near its conclusion"[7] and that the band should have dared to evolve towards harder metal songs.

[1][2] Metal Hammer Germany criticised also that many songs were drifting off towards "Celtic kitsch", and that Lyriel's new orientation towards Nightwish was only backed up by their instrumental performance but not by the vocals.
