Only Heavy Metal

Norwegian progressive metallers LEPROUS have completed work on their new studio album, "The Congregation", for a May 25 European release (June 2 in North America) via InsideOut Music. The drums, guitars and bass for the follow-up to 2013's "Coal" were recorded at Sweden's Fascination Street and Ghostward Studios with David Castillo (KATATONIA, OPETH) and the vocals with Heidi Solberg Tveitan and Vegard Tveitan at Mnemosyne Studios in Norway. Just like the preceding albums, "Bilateral" and "Coal", "The Congregation" was mixed by Jens Bogren (OPETH, SYMPHONY X, KREATOR) at Fascination Street.

Norwegian progressive metallers LEPROUS will release their very first live DVD, CD and LP package titled "Live At Rockefeller Music Hall", on November 25 via InsideOut Music.

Recorded live at a hometown show in Oslo on June 4 of this year, "Live At Rockefeller Music Hall" will arrive on various formats, including a limited DVD+2CD digipak, standalone DVD, 2CD jewelcase, gatefold 3LP + 2CD and as digital download audio.

We're super stoked to announce our fifth studio album 'Malina' for release on the 25th August 2017! To coincide with this, we've also announced an extensive European tour with special guests, Iceland's Agent Fresco, plus Australia's Alithia & fellow Norwegians Astrosaur...

Norwegian progressive rockers LEPROUS have entered the studio to begin recording their sixth album, due later in the year via InsideOut Music.

LEPROUS drummer Baard Kolstad commented: "We entered the studio to record the drums for half of the album last week with David Castillo at Ghostward/Fascination Street Studios, same studio as we recorded the two latest studio albums. As an over-autistic control freak I am when recording myself, this time around I had more time than ever to perfectionise and experiment with my sound almost without compromises, so a big thanks to Einar and David for their patience! We also recorded one song together, drums and bass, something neither LEPROUS or I have ever done before. Feeling very good to leave the drum recording for now, focusing on the last half of the album to be recorded in May. I'm so looking forward to hear the outcome just in a few days when the guitarists have put their touch. Will be a different LEPROUS album for sure, but still LEPROUS!"
