Leprous
Leprous is a five piece progressive metal band hailing from the metal town of Notodden, Norway, home of bands such as Emperor, Zyklon, Ihsahn, CIrcus Maximus, and many more.
Since Leprous was founded in 2001, they've gone through a few changes in the line-up, and now consists of Einar Solberg (synth/vocals), Tor Oddmund Suhrke (guitar), Simen Børven (bass), Robin Ognedal (guitar) and Baard Kolstad (drums)

The young quintet have already made themselves visible on the Norwegian prog- and metal scene, and twice the band has made the finals in the Norwegian Rock Championship. Besides Leprous, the guys in Leprous are currently working as a session band of solo artist "Ihsahn", also known as the front figure of the legendary black metal band Emperor.
"This band sounds like nothing else out there, and will probably reach far ..."

In August 2008, Leprous recorded their debut album "Tall Poppy Syndrome". As a result they caught the eye of several record companies, and ended up signing with the American label Sensory Records for a May 2009 release.
Prior to "Tall Poppy Syndrome", Leprous have recorded two demos which both received great accolades from the worldwide media, with the demo (self-financed full length album) "Aeolia" among other great reviews received a perfect 10 out of 10 score from the Norwegian webzine www.metal-norge.no. The band at that point decided to hold off on the search for a label to release their albums though, as they knew that they could create even better songs. And now, a couple of years later, "Tall Poppy Syndrome" is ready to hit the shelves.
Backed by Intromental Management & Booking Agency, Leprous spent 2009 promoting the release with numerous shows throughout Scandinavia, and entering 2010 the band and management laid plans for bringing the music of Leprous even further out to fans, by lining up shows around Europe and USA, as well as setting the band up as main support on Swedish orchestral metal band Therion's fall 2010 European tour, taking the band through no less than 17 countries in 30 days.
The music of Leprous is not an easy one to classify. Various genres are included, from progressive rock, to jazz, to pure metal. The vocals alternate between clean and growling, something which gives the music a heaviness it otherwise wouldn't have. To compare Leprous to other bands is practically impossible, but the closest comparisons would be bands such as Opeth, Arcturus, Porcupine Tree, Van Der Graaf Generator or Emperor. An interesting listening-experience for the open-minded music fan.

Leprous Lyrics
Piercing, piercing his eyes
Scars you can't see
Cutting, cutting profound
Places you don't want to be
Climbing a mountain
Crossing a sea
Behind
The struggle has ended
Damaged mind
Already descended
Behind
The struggle has ended
Damaged mind
Acting out
Striving to make me secure
The gutter parts us from the rain
Up on the hill, tough and alone
Perfectly filling his desolate throne
Behind
The struggle has ended
Damaged mind
Already descended
Behind
The struggle has ended
Damaged mind
Already descended
Behind
The struggle has ended
Damaged mind
Acting out
Securing me
Friendly betrayal
Somber delight
Treating his tumor
Without a fight

Jolly is the best band ever.
Piercing, piercing eyes.
Scars you're counting.
Counting, counting profound places you don't want to be.
Climbing a mountain, crossing a sea.
Behind, the struggle has ended.
damaged mind, already descended.
Behind, struggle has ended,
acting out, striving to make me secure.
The gutter, parts us from the rain.
Up on the hill,
tough and alone.
perfectly feeling, his desolate throne.
Behind, the struggle has ended.
damaged mind, already descended.
Behind, struggle has ended,
damaged mind, acting out, securing me ______ betrayal.
Can't really hear the end. Anyone want to help me out?

Official Lyrics. Some parts may not sound like this, but maybe are sung like that for the sake of art.
Piercing his eyes
Scars you can't see
Cutting profound
Places you don't want to be
Climbing a mountain
Crossing a sea
Behind
The struggle has ended
Damaged mind
Already descended
Acting out
Striving to make me secure
The gutter parts us
From the rain
Up on the hill
Tough and alone
Perfectly filling
His desolate throne
Acting out
Securing me
Friendly betrayal
Somber delight
Treating his tumor
Without a fight

I told one of my best friends to recommend bands "equal to Opeth" and he recommended me to Leprous, now I listen to Leprous in memory of my friend, he passed away 2 months ago

Condoleances, man. I hope you can find some help in the music. I lost a friend a few years ago, Leprous and some other bands helped a lot, really. Music is a real strength.
David Torrero
my condolences, but this sounds closer
to muse than it does to opeth for me.
Artie McFly
Sorry for your loss. You had a great friend from what it sounds. Be well metal brethren.
