Norwegian Rock outfit LEPROUS have shared the second single/video for their highly anticipated 8th studio album “Melodies Of Atonement,” to be released on August 30th, 2024.
“Silently Walking Alone” once again shows a brand-new side of LEPROUS sonically, shedding their progressive roots to create a sound that’s thrillingly alien but adventurous and familiar at the same time. This is the new sound of Leprous in 2024 and only proves that the band is hell bent to reach a whole new level beyond the heavy metal landscape.
LEPROUS’ vocalist Einar Solberg checked about the new single as follows:
“‘Silently Walking Alone’ is the first song of the album, and it gives a whole other vibe than our previous album. It’s very electronic, epic, simplistic and heavy. It’s kind of the sister song of “Atonement” sound wise, but you’ll be up for some surprises when it comes to the rest of the album. The song is about gradually learning to be OK by myself, and to be OK in my own company. Hikes and nature have helped me quieting my mind and becoming more leveled.”
Check out the song “Silently Walking Alone” in a video directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz here:
“Melodies Of Atonement” was recorded with David Castillo at Ghost Ward Studios in Sweden, mixed by Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves, etc.) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, Placebo, The Gaslight Anthem, etc.). The artwork is based on photography by John Dolan with design by Ritxi Ostáriz.
