Leprous (NOR) at Plaza Zurich

Leprous is a progressive metal band from Notodden, Norway, formed in 2001. The group was founded by singer and keyboardist Einar Solberg and guitarist Tor Oddmund Suhrke. Their style is often classified as progressive metal or progressive rock, but encompasses a wide array of influences and sounds.

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.

Leprous entered the studio to record their sixth album in early 2019. The album, titled Pitfalls, was officially announced on 26 August 2019, along with the designated release date of 25 October 2019, as well as the artwork and tracklist.

If you're a fan of Muse, you're likely to enjoy this band. Leprous have a similarly operatic and dramatic style, and they're an amazing live band.

Support comes from The Ocean and Port Noir.
