It is a great pleasure to welcome Leprous to Fiskepiren on 4 December! Hailing from Notodden, Leprous have grown into one of Europe’s leading progressive metal bands, known for powerful and intense live performances. This is set to be something special.
Leprous
Leprous have gone from being a Norwegian underground phenomenon to becoming one of the most respected prog metal bands in Europe. The band from Notodden have built a strong international reputation with their distinctive blend of progressive metal, electronic elements and melodic intensity.
With albums such as Malina, Pitfalls and Aphelion, they have developed a sound that both fans and critics highlight as something truly unique. It is on stage that Leprous really stand out, with their precise and emotional presence. They have performed at festivals and venues around the world and earned recognition for live shows where complex compositions are transformed into tight, intense energy on stage.
Drummer Baard Kolstad has become a leading figure in modern drumming and an important part of the band’s dynamics. Perhaps you saw him on Drumeo earlier this year? Together with Einar Solberg’s distinctive vocals and the band’s uncompromising focus on quality, Leprous have built a major international reputation.
For anyone who enjoys prog rock with one foot in metal and the other in melody, combined with unexpected twists and powerful emotions, Leprous are one of the genre’s most distinctive names.
Leprous return to Norway in 2026 and 2027 as part of the tour for their latest album, Melodies of Atonement, featuring songs such as “Atonement”, “Silently Walking Alone” and “Like a Sunken Ship”.
