Leprous announce new album Malina & tour dates

“Malina” is set to be released on August 25th through InsideOut Music Records. A new European tour was also revealed.

Norwegian prog metallers Leprous have announced a new album called ”Malina”. The new album was produced by David Castillo (Katatonia, Bloodbath, Amorphis…), who also produced ”The Congregation”, and mixed by Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, Devin Townsend, Dragonforce). ”Malina” is the fifth studio album by Leprous and the follow-up to 2015’s ”The Congregation”.

About the album, vocalist/keyboardist Einar Solberg commented:

We feel with ‘Malina’ that we’ve managed to achieve a natural sounding organic album with great songs that still sounds modern. Organic doesn’t necessarily equal ‘retro’. While we still very much sound like Leprous, I believe that with this album we more accurately define as a rock band than a metal band. We’re insanely proud of this album, and can’t wait to share it with you all.” This feeling is reflected in the stunning cover artwork too, which you can see above. We wanted to try something new this time, and work with a new artist. Some good musician friends of ours recommended Corey Meyers. I checked him out, and damn he’s good. This is the first time we’ve ever received the perfect cover on the first attempt. It represents the album perfectly and looks pretty amazing!

Along with the album announcement, Leprous announced an extensive headline european tour to promote ”Malina” and counts with the supporting bands Agent Fresco, AlithiA and Astrosaur.
