The seventh album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Some guests added cello, violin and a female choir.
The band returned two years after their very good Malina album.
This album clocks in at around one hour.
It is really difficult to label the music on this album and the band's music in general. Melodic, theatrical progressive metal is my latest attempt on labeling this unique band and their music.
Einar Solberg is one of the best vocalists in the progressive metal genre... and indeed in the progressive rock genre. He is a massive part of their sound and music.
The music is both very complex and a bit melodic. This is not easy listening. The music is though engaging and fascinating.
While this album scores high on originality, the quality of the songs is not always great. Nevertheless, this is a very good album and another proof that Leprous is one of the more exciting bands in the scene.
3.5 points
