LEPROUS singer / synth-player Einar Solberg comments about the song:
“We’re delighted to finally be able to give you the first taste of our upcoming album ‘Coal’! ‘Coal’ is a melancholic, soulful and very dynamic album. Where ‘Bilateral’ was playful and ‘in-your face’, ‘Coal’ is subtle and floating. ‘Chronic’ however, is of the more dynamic songs of the album. With a heavy basis, the song pinches a nerve LEPROUS has never before explored.”
LEPROUS will be performing at various prominent summer festivals – including Wacken, Hellfest, Tuska, and more – to promote the release of Coal, and the band is now also announcing headlining European shows from September to November 2013. See below for all confirmed dates:
