Greenleaf is a Swedish rock band created as a side project in late 1999 by Tommi Holappa (Dozer), Daniel Lidén (Demon Cleaner) and Bengt Bäcke (record producer/studio engineer; Dozer, Demon Cleaner, Lowrider). In 2003, Lidén joined Dozer, making three of the four Dozers members also members of Greenleaf, so the band took a back seat until 2007.
In 2018 Magnetic Eye Records released The Wall [Redux] album which was a recreation of Pink Floyd's 1979 double album The Wall recorded with different musicians on each track. Greenleaf contributed the single track, "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 3 / Goodbye Cruel World" which combined the final two tracks from side two of the original album.[2] In a statement shared with Ultimate Classic Rock, Magnetic Eye Records said, "The Wall [Redux] isn't a tribute album, but a powerful musical statement that's certainly appropriate at a cultural moment when the themes of separatism, alienation and divisiveness set forth by Roger Waters and company are more relevant than ever."[3]
