Their first album "Tall Poppy Syndrome" (2009) is a Melodic Prog/Death Metal with growls.

Next Album "Bilateral" (2011), "Coal" (2013), and "The Congregation" (2015) are absolutely masterpieces.

Check "Slave" (Live Performance) or "The Price" (music video) for the next reaction.

If you want a Leprous song more up your (normal) alley, “Contaminate Me” live is something you’ll dig.

And yeah, they’re kinda a genre of their own when you start digging. A lot of rhythm play and jumping from heavy to borderline ambient and even what I’ve heard called “depressing groove.”

Also Baard is one of the most creative drummers I’ve ever heard.

This band does no wrong. Top notch musicianship all the way around. Glad you finally got around to checking them out, Tank.

@stefanovitali2925 5 years ago

The bit about the double snare was spot on, drummer said in interviews that he needed a second snare for a different tone. If you want to delve into harder Leprous, there's always Slave or The Sky Is Red live. Tons of synchronized headbanging, incredible drumming and pretty rad tunes too...

This band just hits the spot for me like no other. Glad you got to check it out and enjoy it too man 🙌

@brunowilliam7529 5 years ago

Fun fact, Ihsahn from emperor is closely befriended with this band. His wife is the sister of the vocalist of Leprous. And he has beautiful aristides guitars, like the guitarist of leprous haha

The sky is red
Mandatory listen...

@wolverine669 5 years ago

LEPROUS is just amazing. They've turned kinda softer and softer with each album, but the main sound is still the same. Baard Kolstad is amazing drummer, just...wow!
AND they are Ihsahn's live band aswell. Really do check out some more. "Bilateral" and "Coal" are great albums

This band has found a VERY special place in my heart over the past year when I discovered them. I just booked a ticket today to see their livestream of what I expect will be from the new album just a couple days before it comes out. Super glad to see you enjoyed them Tank. There are a ton of great songs you could check out from their back catalog that would blow you away all over again. This band is constantly evolving and I'm super interested to see where they go but this single and Castaway Angels has me super excited for Aphelion.

Leprous is one of those bands that's so unique there is literally no good comparison. It took me a minute to hop on board with them personally, but I'm a full passenger now. Glad to see you had such a positive reaction on a first listen! Definitely suggest "The Price" as a good hook. The first song I heard was "Rewind" and I was actually shook after hearing it; I suggest that for off-camera. The feelings they're able to evoke are ones I never thought I had.

Einar's vocals never fail to snatch the soul right outta my body

Was staring at the screen for a minute to catch what I was feeling listening to this! Nothing like what I was expecting. You don't hear this sound that often right now! I LOVE IT!

@steve.hoffman 5 years ago

Saw them live just before the pandemic began, and they sounded perfect. They were previously heavier and more progressive in earlier albums. But these songs are fantastic. If they had a different name, they’d be huge. I’d suggest Waste of Air or Forced Entry as good early starting points.

@FLASK904 4 years ago

These guys really just dont do the same thing twice. Just when you think you have them figured out, they evolve. Its been pretty amazing to follow. I've been a fan for a decade now and Malina is probably my favorite album cause I'm a bit of a prog rock junkie, but honestly all their stuff is soo unique I'd check them out.

@thomasgjrevold5562 5 years ago

I would recommend "the sky is red" live 2020, it's just eargasme. Greetings from Norway 🤘

@Panda_SMM 5 years ago

One of the best things about Leprous in my opinion, is that all of their work is pretty different from one another, yet still maintains their core sound which is always brilliant.

If you ever get back to this band, which I highly recommend, based on each of their albums would be Phantom Pain, Forced Entry, Coal, Rewind, Coma and finally The Sky Is Red. My personal favorites from each of their 6 albums leading up to what you listened here on their 7th album. Keep doing what you're doing dude, it's a fun time watching.

@stephsteph4574 5 years ago

Yes! Finally Leprous on your channel! I love them, their album Pitfalls is great! Baard Kolstad is for me one of the best drummers! There are many drum playthrough videos on youtube!

@RainoBrandmo 5 years ago

You really need to check out 'Slave' live from Rockefeller Music Hall. It's a brilliant performance, also featuring their former drummer alongside Baard (yeah, 2 drummers!) 😁 Great review, btw. Love your enthusiasm!

Well I've fallen down a Leprous rabbit hole today. Thanks for doing this reaction, and thank you to Hupfi for introducing you! Super groovy music and I'm into it.
