Biography

Norwegian progressive/avant-garde metal band from founded in 2001 in Notodden, Norway by singer and keyboardist [a=Einar Solberg] and guitarist [a=Tor Oddmund Suhrke]. After releasing two demos with relatively unstable lineups, the band released their first studio album, [i]Tall Poppy Syndrome[/i], in 2009, which mixed progressive metal and progressive rock styles, but encompasses a wide array of influences and sounds. They subsequently gained prominence as the live backing band of [a=Ihsahn] (who is Solberg's brother-in-law), who, in turn, contributed on several Leprous records as guest singer or producer. In 2011 Leprous released [i]Bilateral[/i], followed two years later with [i]Coal[/i], which defines a new experimental direction for the band, developed with [i]The Congregation[/i] (2015). In 2017 Leprous took a more rock-oriented and less metal approach with [i]Malina[/i] (2017), their first record not to feature harsh vocals. Two years later they released [i]Pitfalls[/i], more electronic/symphonic-oriented.

LYRICS

Flickering fire
A thirsty flame
Burning whispers
Repeating my name
Dying reminder
Igniting my words
Leading me down to
An explosive burst

Like a candle out of time
When the wick is burning out
Relieving tension to a final hope

I've been here before and I have grown
With the thoughts I can free when I'm alone

When I'm at the bottom
Right at the bottom
Where I grasp
Whoa, whoa, whoa
For a handle
At the bottom
At the bottom
Where I shine
Whoa, whoa, whoa
As bright as I can

Hey
I wanna let it out, let it out
Hey
I'm gonna let it out, let it out
(Let it out, let it out)

Sinking conclusion
Unstable spark
Ready to leave
This welcoming dark

The day made the chaos
Inadvertent pain

Forging the key to unlock my chain
Freeing myself from the destructive reign

When I'm at the bottom
Right at the bottom
Where I grasp
Whoa, whoa, whoa
For a handle
At the bottom
At the bottom
Where I shine
Whoa, whoa, whoa
As bright as I can

Hey
I wanna let it out, let it out
(Let it out)
Hey
I wanna let it out, let it out
(Let it out, let it out)


I'm back to where
I was when this began
Stranded in the uncharted
Will I ever be the same?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

At the bottom
I have started
To find my inner strength
Again

(Oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
