Norwegian
Rock outfit LEPROUS are pleased to now launch a second single/video for
their highly anticipated 8th studio album “Melodies Of Atonement”, to
be released on August 30th, 2024 via InsideOutMusic worldwide.
“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.”
