LEPROUS Releases Music Video For New Single 'Below'
Norwegian rock outfit LEPROUS has released the official music video for its new single, "Below". The clip was directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz of Grupa13 (BEHEMOTH, KREATOR, AMON AMARTH) and filmed in Wroclaw, Poland. The song is taken from the band's sixth and most ambitious studio album, "Pitfalls", which is due on October 25 worldwide via InsideOut Music.
LEPROUS vocalist and keyboardist Einar Solberg checked in with the following comment about "Below": "'Below' was the first song written for the 'Pitfalls' album and it was composed in a period of denial of what was to come. It was a very spontaneous song, made first with only piano and vocals.
"'Below' is a very emotional and melancholic track, and it means a lot to me personally — both musically and lyrically. Large cinematic string arrangements, electronic elements, very acoustic and organic parts — all combined. Very epic but at the same time very fragile!"
"Pitfalls" was once again recorded with David Castillo at Ghostward Studios (OPETH, KATATONIA). The disc was mixed by Adam Noble (PLACEBO, BIFFY CLYRO, NOTHING BUT THIEVES, DEAF HAVANA). The cover artwork is a painting by Indonesian artist Elicia Edijanto.
"Pitfalls" will be available as limited mediabook CD with two bonus tracks, as a standard jewelcase CD and as gatefold 2LP on 180-gram vinyl (on black vinyl and various limited colored editions) with the album on CD as bonus and an etching on the D side.
"Pitfalls" track listing:
01. Below
02. I Lose Hope
03. Observe The Train
04. By My Throne
05. Alleviate
06. At The Bottom
07. Distant Bells
08. Foreigner
09. The Sky Is Red
Solberg stated about the upcoming album: "We're incredibly proud to announce 'Pitfalls'! It's the album no-one is expecting from LEPROUS. When you think you know where it's headed, you'll realize that you're wrong. It's not only by far the biggest production and musical departure we've done, but the also most personal and honest.
"The album has been written through one of my toughest years, where I struggled with depression and anxiety. No filters, no metaphors, just the truth. They say that writing music is therapeutic. but I would say that it's an understatement. For me, 'Pitfalls' is the result of one and a half years of learning how to get through the dark tunnel. The music has been my torch."
Upon "Pitfalls"' release, LEPROUS will head out on an extensive European headlining tour with THE OCEAN and PORT NOIR.
LEPROUS recently performed a stunning set at Germany's Summer Breeze festival and used the opportunity to record a special acoustic version of the "Malina" track "From The Flame" for WDR "Rockpalast".

Я уже и Malina слушать не стал, я понял курс, окончательно взятый группой на Congregation. Теперь вся музыка сосредоточена на бесспорно сильном и красивом вокале Айнара, но партии его монотонны и в голосе раньше было гораздо больше красок, а сейчас, что я слышу... А музыка теперь у нас так, чисто поддержка Айнара, а не что то выдающееся, оригинальное, новаторское. Я понимаю, Лепроус хотят быть доступнее для масс, вероятно, но БЛЯТЬ, на что они променяли свои достижения? Tall Poppy Syndrome, Bilateral блестящие альбомы, да даже Coal крут по своему, но то что дальше... Просто тошно от того, что сейчас все по сути проебано.
Tall Poppy Syndrome любимый. То,с чего они начались для меня. Но все еще пока остаются слушабельными,если не сильно сравнивать с предыдущими работами. Но уже близки к грани(а то и уже за ней),когда группу можно посылать на гейровидение.

На фоне Vulture Industries это действо выглядит гейством, но это не точно. Надо еще послушать.
