Leprous

'Melodies of Atonement' offers a duality of heavy moments and soothing soundscapes that has become synonymous with the sound of Leprous over the course of the past few years. Though some might lament the lack of the symphonic elements highlighted across previous releases, this ninth album will ultimately be considered a step in the right direction by many, especially early fans of the band.

The last-minute show will be taking place in Leeds on Friday 3rd December.

The video is based on footage filmed and produced by the company Munin Live, as part of the livestream project 'Let's write a song together'.

Leprous' Aphelion preview live stream was the perfect way to kickstart this new chapter of the band, giving everyone a chance to hear the stellar new output from the quintet, two days before anyone else. 

'Aphelion' is yet another brilliant release by Norwegian prog masters Leprous. Its songs constantly build themselves up and evolve, while retaining their individual sound and identity, and manage to never sound exactly the same as one another. This is a testament of a band that, in spite of a pandemic, is still on top of its game, and doesn’t plan to stop any time soon.

The single is the band's first music in six years - check out the animated video here.

The band will be performing their forthcoming seventh album in full during the event.

'Running Low' is the first taste of the band's upcoming album 'Aphelion' - check out the video here. 

'Aphelion' is the follow-up to the band's 2019 album 'Pitfalls', find out more here. 

Spanning two albums over two days, the recent live streamed shows by Norwegian prog masters Leprous were a great reminder of what concert life was like before the pandemic, while also acting as a first opportunity for many fans to witness the band’s latest album, 'Pitfalls', being played live, in its entirety.
