LEPROUS spoke with Metal Injection as the first leg of the “Melodies Of Atonement” tour kicked off in Nashville earlier this year. In the interview, Einar Solberg and Tor Oddmund Suhrke discussed the band’s previous North American shows as well as the new album, saying “There’s nothing like performing new material live and we love the U.S. crowds.”
LEPROUS is Tor Oddmund Suhrke (guitar),Baard Kolstad (drums),Einar Solberg (vocals/keyboards),Robin Ognedal (guitars) and Simen Børven (bass). The band, formed in the suburbs of Oslo, Norway, has released eight full-length albums to date, with the most recent being “Melodies Of Atonement”. Renowned for their dynamic live performances and atypical compositions, LEPROUS has established themselves as one of the most interesting acts in heavy music, captivating audiences worldwide with their unique vision.
LEPROUS recorded “Melodies Of Atonement” with David Castillo at Ghost Ward Studios in Sweden. The LP was mixed by Adam Noble (PLACEBO, BIFFY CLYRO, NOTHING BUT THIEVES) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (THE 1975, PLACEBO, THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM). The album’s front cover artwork was created based on photography by John Dolan and design by Ritxi Ostáriz.
