Leprous is a young, five piece band from Notodden, Norway, playing experimental progressive metal.
“This band sounds like nothing else out there,
and will probably reach far (…)”Yngve M. Jacobsen – www.heavymetal.no
Leprous was founded in 2001, has gone trough a few changes in the line-up, and now consists of Einar Solberg (synth and lead vocals), Tor Oddmund Suhrke (guitar and vocals), Halvor Strand (bass), Øystein Landsverk (guitar) and Tobias Ørnes Andersen (drums).
Prior to Tall Poppy Syndrome (2008) the band has recorded two demos, Silent Waters (2004) and Aeolia (2006). The recordings have received very good feedback from Norwegian metal press and local fans. The band received a 20.000 NOK scholarship from the organization “Lions” to fund their latest recording. Tor Oddmund Suhrke and Einar Solberg received Notodden Kommunes Culture award in 2005 for their work with Motstøyfestivalen. In addition to this, Einar Solberg was hired as synthist and co-vocalist in the legendary black metal band, Emperor, for their reunion shows in 2006-07.
Leprous' latest effort Tall Poppy Syndrome was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren in Black Lounge Studio / The Abyss in Pärlby, Sweden, during august 2008.

I am from Costa Rica, and I was searching on the internet prog bands, and I have to say that you guys are very creative and also have nice clean ang growl vocals, Its a shame that we never have a chance to see a band of your level in Costa Rica, so thats why I start save to travel and try to listen you live guys.
Thanks for the add or like we said in Costa Rica " Pura Vida"
You guys should be very proud of yourselves... in my humble and honest opinion you rank at the top with progmetal bands such as Enslaved, Opeth, Cynic, Porcupine Tree, etc. Amazing music guys.. just do me a big favor and keep it coming...
