LEPROUS completes work
on new album; reveals title and release dates
|
After finishing off a very
eventful past year of promotions for their previous album release, Bilateral, acclaimed
Norwegian progsters LEPROUS entered the studio to start recording their next
album after wrapping up their "European Progressive Assault"
headlining tour in September/October 2012.
This new album is entitled Coal, and it will be
released on May 20th in Europe and on May 28th in North America via InsideOut
Music.
LEPROUS singer/synth-player
Einar Solberg comments about the release:
"With our
upcoming album 'Coal,' I feel we are one step closer to a personal
expression. Heidi Solberg Tveitan and Vegard Tveitan of Mnemosyne were the
producers of this album, together with LEPROUS. They helped us a lot with
reaching the full potential of the songs, and the album would not be equally
good without their expertise.
Jens Bogren and Tony
Lindgren @ Fascination Street Studios mixed the material and have made this album
shine like nobody else could.
I see less
interest in defining music than in creating music, but I will give a short
overview on what to expect...
'Coal' is a more
melancholic and darker album than the more playful 'Bilateral'. By darker I
don't mean more aggressive, but more severe. There is still a big range in
the dynamics, but no jumping between different moods within a song. We cannot
wait to show this album to the world!"
