LEPROUS release music video for new song “Silently Walking Alone”; European tour dates confirmed

Leprous, the innovative and imaginative Norwegian band, have released “Silently Walking Alone”, a second preview of the band’s upcoming album, Melodies Of Atonement, out August 30th via InsideOutMusic.

“‘Silently Walking Alone’ is the first song on the album and it has a very different mood than our previous album,” explains frontman/songwriter Einar Solberg. “It’s very electronic, epic, simple and heavy. Sonically it’s kind of the sister song to ‘Atonement’, but the rest of the album will surprise you. The song is about gradually learning to cope on your own and cope in your own company. Hiking and nature helped me calm my mind and become more balanced.”

The track was released along with a video directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz (Behemoth, Amon Amorth). Watch below:

Melodies Of Atonement was recorded with David Castillo at Ghost Ward Studios in Sweden, mixed by Adam Noble (Biffy Clyro, Placebo, Nothing But Thieves) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, The Gaslight Anthem).
