Caught the livestream of this, and Leprous continues to be one of the most consistent rbands out there while keeping their sound fresh and forward thinking. As per their last rcouple of albums, if you're looking for The Congregation or Bilateral pt. 2, then look relsewhere. This is just some chaps making excellent music in their now trademark chamber-rprog-rock game, albeit a little less focused than what we've come to expect.

I'm convinced that the people who say Leprous is an Einar solo project only ever listened to 3 songs off of Bilateral before Pitfalls ever dropped

Wow, what a gorgeous album this is. I will forever miss the metal side of Leprous, but this is by rfar the album of their newer prog-rock sound I've enjoyed the most. The album closer is once again rphenomenal.rEDIT: bumped down a bit, doesn't have the same impact for me anymore, but it's still great

"Let's see what pumping the same album every
two years like clockwork sounds like.
Yep, the same"
Imagine actually thinking this sounds like
Malina or The Congregation lmao

Someone let them near an orchestra again and Einar screams at one point here. I may be gay for this mans voice

Does a new album mean another new hairstyle for Baard?

I have been listening to metal since grammar school and I aw now 42, so needless to say decades. In that period of time I have listened to countless sub genres, including black metal. In high school I first discovered Emperor’s Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, which I am still a fan of today. Leprous the band at the center of this review were the backing band for Ihsahn’s solo material and he of course was a part of Emperor. As anyone who has listened to their earlier albums knows Leprous are a progressive metal/rock band, and a fantastic one. With elements of folk, electronic and psychedelic music along with occasional bouts of metal, this is a phenomenal album. The melodies will worm their way into your cranium and you may never be the same again. In particular Einar Solberg’s vocals are beautiful and sublime. It’s a bit soon to pick an album of the year, there still are a few weeks left, this is a definite contender for that spot for me though.

I am definitely more of a fan of the modern Leprous sound than their older stuff. My problem is Aphelion feels more like B-Sides from their last release than a new album. Everything feels a little less polished, a little less exciting, and a little less unique than what I am used to from them. Having said that, it is Leprous and the album is still great... it just feels like they didn't try as hard this time.

Leprous has not changed really at all in the 15-ish years they have been around. They made solid progressive rock and metal and sometimes add the artistic nature that is seen right now in progressive music. This is just another helping of very solid progressive rock and metal music that is good while it?s on, but utterly forgettable in the fast world of this sound and style.

Let's see what pumping the same album every two years like clockwork sounds like.
Yep, the same.

Incredible album. There is so much subtlety and depth in this record and, as expected, Einar's vocals are spectacular.

I've watched the livestream release of this so I was prepared for it, another good album from Leprous with new experimentation and nice prog bits. It needs more spins to really see what I'm getting for real but Im liking it so far.
