LEPROUS starts
recording new album, launches first studio video
|
After spending a very
eventful and busy year promoting their latest album release, Bilateral, acclaimed
Norwegian progsters LEPROUS have now started their recording sessions for
their upcoming, currently untitled studio album, set to be released before
summer 2013 worldwide via InsideOut Music.
LEPROUS singer / synth-player
Einar Solberg checked in with a status report:
"As many of you already
know, we've started recording our new album. The drums are finished, and
we're now focusing on the guitars. Also this time we're using Vegard 'Ihsahn'
Tveitan and Heidi 'StarOfAsh' S. Tveitan as our producers / technicians. The
drums were recorded in the really cool and old school Juke Joint Studio (http://www.jukejointstudio.com/
), and we're really satisfied with the result.
As far as the new music, we
can only remind you that LEPROUS will never be the kind of band to re-create
the mood from previous works, and it's very important for us that each album
has its own strong character. We have great belief in this album and we
promise something fresh, challenging and soulful! This album will also be
mixed and mastered by Mr. Jens Bogren @ Fascination Street Studios."

studio-video from the drum recording sessions here:
