Description/Reviews
Leprous “Coal” - extraordinary Prog Metal from Norway! A sonic intoxication for fans of King Crimson, Pain of Salvation and Devin Townsend.
From the pounding opener “Foe” to the boundary-pushing closer of “Contaminate Me”, “Coal” is an album full of surprises and with an intense complete flow. Via their first single of “Chronic”, a tune balancing between laid-back melancholy and drama played out almost like a theatre-performance, Leprous lays the foundation of an album that, while fitting nicely into the string of always further developing releases so far, also has something quite new to offer; something that becomes evident already by the third song, the album’s title track, where Leprous effortlessly mix grandiose prog rock with a darker and more minimalistic approach.
