About

Leprous is a Norwegian progressive metal band formed in 2001 by singer and keyboardist Einar Solberg and guitarist Tor Oddmund Suhrke. After releasing several demos with relatively unstable lineups, the band released their first studio album, Tall Poppy Syndrome, in 2009. They subsequently gained prominence as the live backing band of Ihsahn (who is Solberg's brother-in-law), who, in turn, contributed on several Leprous records as guest singer or producer. Their acclaimed 2011 album Bilateral led to further attention.

After two albums which followed a similar musical direction, Coal (2013) and The Congregation (2015), Leprous took a less metal, more rock-oriented approach with Malina (2017), their first record not to feature harsh vocals. The band further experimented on 2019's Pitfalls, which mixes art rock, pop and progressive influences into their established sound. Leprous released their seventh studio album, Aphelion, in 2021, and their eighth studio album titled Melodies of Atonement in 2024. Their albums have received mostly positive reviews.
