Leprous - The Congregation (Inside Out)

Unlike what could be expected from a Norwegian band with such a name, Leprous gave everyone this year a run for their money, with a new and interesting progressive rock/metal album named ‘The Congregation’. With songs bound to stick to your mind and music playlist, like ‘Rewind’, this album is a worthy heir of their previous discography. It gets you instantly hooked and this can be attributed to the lead vocalist’s (Einar Solberg) unique vocals and catchy grooves.  Leprous is a promising band both lyrically and in terms of sound. They combine progressive metal norms from bands like Opeth and such with easy to listen vocals and minimal electronic elements. If you want to hear something different that is also excellent and easy to listen to, definitely check out "The Congregation"
