Norwegian Prog Rockers Leprous have shared the official video for the single, the brooding “Like A Sunken Ship” taken from upcoming new album “Melodies Of Atonement,” which will be released on August 30 via InsideOut Music. The song builds slowly to an epic, metallic climax featuring a bellowing metallic roar from singer Einar Solberg.
Watch the viedo through the YouTube player below:
“I’m taking the symphonic elements further in my solo project [started last year with debut album 16],” says Solberg of the heavier sound. “It was to give space to each band member to do their thing more. So, my project will be more cinematic, with some rock elements too, and then Leprous will be the rock, heavy, kind of metal band. It will appeal to a lot of the same people, but a lot of different people.“
“Like A Sunken Ship” is the third single to be taken from the band upcoming album “Melodies Of Atonement,” which Leprous will release through InsideOut Music on August 30, 2024.
The new album will be available as a limited edition deluxe 2xCD and Blu-ray artbook (with bonus track “Claustrophobic,” instrumental mix on bonus CD and Dolby Atmos mix, 5.1 Surround mix as well as HighRes Stereo 24/96 version on Blu-ray), as a CD media book and patch (with bonus track “Claustrophobic” and Leprous logo patch), standard CD in a jewel case, a gatefold 180g 2xLP in various coloured vinyl options, as a digital album and also a Dolby Atmos digital album.
