Comunicato stampa:

La progressive metal band norvegese annuncia inoltre due speciali eventi streaming previsti per questo weekend, sabato 20 e domenica 21 febbraio, nei quali eseguirà per intero gli ultimi due album della propria discografia, “Malina”, pubblicato nel 2017 e “Pitfalls”, pubblicato nel 2019.

After a strict lock down during the spring, we were finally allowed to work together face to face. However, the border into Sweden was still off limits for us. This meant that we had to find a studio in Norway, as opposed to recording with our good friend and producer David Castillo at Gröndahl in Stockholm. Being forced to think in new directions can be an unpleasant and challenging experience, but it can also open new opportunities and relationships. In our case, luckily, it was the latter. We got in contact with the guys from the magical ‘Ocean Sound Recordings’ at Giske, just outside the city of Ålesund. This was the start of a beautiful relationship that has added a new dimension to LEPROUS’ sound. Our first session at Ocean Sound resulted in the making and documentation of “Castaway Angels”, released December 4th. This video documents the making of CA and it’ll give you a “behind the scenes” look at how we worked together, as well as our individual reflections on how this session took part in shaping us as a band. Without this project, it’s likely that the idea of the “Let’s write a song together”-concept never would’ve been born. Thank you so much for your continued support of our work as musicians and artists!” And LEPROUS added the following comment about the streaming events: “We are not a band made to sit still, so we look very much forward for this weekend playing hybrid concerts on stage with both “Malina” and “Pitfalls” in its entirety. Everything will be streamed in high quality real time from the same stage as the combined stream we did with Ihsahn in December, at the Notodden Theater. Two songs from “Pitfalls” have never ever been played live, and one from “Malina” has more or less never been played live either, so it’s a nice way to step up our game!” The acclaimed latest LEPROUS album “Pitfalls” was released in October 2019 worldwide via InsideOutMusic.  It marks the sixth full album release by LEPROUS and was recorded with David Castillo at Ghostward Studios (Opeth, Katatonia) as well as mixed by Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves).
