It's amazing how much changing a drum pattern can completely alter the sound of a song. If you liked that - and you haven't already - check out The Contortionist, Language Pt I and Pt II. Joey Bacca is the king of pocket grooves.
I always have a strange feeling when i listen to Leprous songs for the first time... but as i am listening to it i start to realize that i can't stop listening to their songs, i never get used to it. Leprous makes the kind of music that works like a puzzle to me, i feel like everytime i listen to them i find something different and it makes me enjoy it even more! This happened to "Stuck" too. Can't wait to the full album. A fun fact is that i'm more into things like Rhapsody of fire, Galneryus etc... But Leprous is actually one of my favourite bands!
That is how progressive metal/rock works man, at least to me, every progressive metal band that are nowadays on the top of my lists were strange and not so pleasant at the very beggining, but when you get used to the tempo of the specific track, with the dissonances applied frequently (which gives a mark to a band) and all the details in melody and chord progression (which makes progressive sound that way) you start to adapt your ear to a complex music and will start to really feel good by hearing it (again and again, the main difference between progressive and power metal is the fact that a ordinary power metal band feels annoying when you keep listen for many years, don't worry cause rhapsody and galneryus are not ordinary, they have progressive elements and neoclassical elements as well) + Leprous have creative musicians that can innovate a lot using the same ideas and by this way don't losing their identity, then your ears start to align with that specific well made sound and even if it is not as common as a power metal song should go, when you get used it feels even better.
It is entering a hypnotic trance, a labyrinth of sounds that forces you to finish listening ... It is like falling into a dimension of lower frequencies, with a feeling that feels like loneliness but not sadness.
@@MikeNevill3 found Haken on the same day actually. Also fantastic. I love the cinematic and theatrical aspect of the Haken universe. Cockroach King, Streams, Lapse, The Good Doctor. Incredible stuff
baard is making incredible things on this song; ghost notes, out of scale/time hits on hihat, the voice of 2 sticks hitting each other(that starts exactly at 1:31) etc... it's a big joy to just focus on him and listening to music like that.
Yeeeeah ! I had no idea of the count, but yeah that's something that I really like everytime I listen to this song. Damn it Baard, why are you so great !
Final verdict on this album: If you like powerful choruses, this album will blow you away. If you like Leprous's more experimental build up segments, you may be disappointed. The songs on the album are very focussed and condensed. I like it, others may not.
Its interesting how Leprous use similiar synth patches on their albums, it really connects tracks together, and it gives great listening experience when you listening full album.
My friend who recommend me this song is now dead. Everytime i listen to this i memory him. Thanks for the good song and greetings to my friend to the heavens or where ever you are i miss you and im in tears. Thank you
Am I the only one that doesn't try and compare an artists new work to their old? Just listen to it. Either enjoy it or don't. People go in expecting this, expecting that. You ever think you're disappointed because of what you built up in your head? Leprous has never given what people "wanted" they do their own shit and they do extremely fucking well
sicdedworm09 You're exactly right. It seems rare that "fans" can evolve with a bands sound as they go through their careers. Expectations can lead to disappointments. Better to go in without a preconceived idea. I love it. Saw them last year and it was one of the best shows I've seen. The musicianship is amazing.
sicdedworm09 Leprous is a band that never tries to do the same thing for two albums in a row, so something like this is expected. That being said, it's still pretty amazing. All three of these songs have been stuck (heh) in my head interchangeably and I loved them all. I also love that no matter what they have experimented with so far, they have never lost their "progressive" side to them.
You're right. It can only sound like Leprous coz there's no one else that does sound like them. It seems the radio is allergic to unique styles these days. Leprous & Haken are the two leading lights in that respect.
No one can deny that Leprous have delivered once again! People were quick to judge from the first single but this confirms they haven't lost any of their spark :)
Honestly, after the three singles they released, From the Flame might be the best. Illuminate is great if you're looking for a track that sounds like The Congregation. But really, the rest of the album doesn't have that feel.
I also really enjoy From the Flame, I think this album will have a mix of familiar-sounding tracks and ones that show a natural evolution for the band, I for one am HYPED for the rest of the album! :D
Captive, is the strongest track of the album, pure progressive, the drummer it's amazing, the vocals never dissapoint Never, Coma, OMG!!!!! Leprous do it again, PROGRESSIVE pure style
His voice is so truly different from anything I’m used to. Not sure if it’s inflections, tones, style. Regardless I love it. These guys are hard to peg which makes them even more appealing. Very different. For the first time in my music listening experience someone that doesn’t automatically make me think of another band. Creative, engrossing, and exciting . Love it. A refreshing new sound ( at least to me).
again these guys take a very interesting poly rhythmic approach to there music.very unique.i like that the drumming is very precise and carries everything,the drummer is the heartbeat of a band and so for this guy to be able to play thru these interesting time signatures and changes of the other instruments and to keep it organic and just tight.is absolutely commendable.i don't know who this drummer is..but i have seen a few of there videos now..and this guy is an amazing drummer.and for this singer..he has a very crisp air about his voice.very focused and clear.bet it was relatively easy for the guys on the board to dial him in and let him go in the studio as for the other voices.i like how you guys have taken such an amazing foundation and non conventional approach to your work and just spun that baby in the mixer and came out with a win..thumbs up
From the Flame and Illuminate delighted me from the very first second but Stuck somehow remains behind. A few more songs like these two and will be an amazing album IMHO!

I'm really digging the new tracks. I've been jumping back and forth between Stuck and From the Flame for a few days now. I can't wait to have the whole record on Itunes so I can just loop it. I discovered Leprous not too long ago to. So its nice to discover the band and BOOM immediately get a new album. I'm so glad I found this band. Its nice to have a proggy band that isn't totally succumb to the whole Djent metal fad.
What I hate most about most Djent music is the screaming vocals. Leprous and Haken are two of my favourite bands right now, especially their later albums. If you have any recommendations of bands that sound like The Congregation of Malina, I would like to hear them!
Man, that intro is throwing me off. The left foot doing off-beats, the right foot making polyrhythmic beats, with the hands doing rudimentary hits while hitting strong accents every 3rd beat, is so damn hard to pull off, in my case. Mad props to Baard.
So instead of making another less proggy radio version song, you guys actually made a song that quite represents your technicality and style. You did it again, Leprous!
No he,s trying to tell you this: When you grew up listening to masterpieces like TPS and Bilateral it,s quit dissapointing to witness the release from the radio version S(t)uck"
Great band. Its sound is unique, original and special. It can lead you for different magnificent moments and feelings. Awesome and elegant progressive rock!! Greetings from Ecuador..
Nice to have a third video one week before release. I can't wait to hear the whole album! Based on what I heard with Stuck, From the flame and this one, for me Malina shape to be a really good album that I will listen a lot to.
Daniël Dekkers The longest song is 7 1/2 minutes long. One thing that I've noticed is that their songs are getting progressively shorter with each passing album. Not that I mind though, because they make every second count.
I like this band a lot, I like that they definitely have there own style.. Yet, they have a very, very, solid sound.. I would definitely like to see them keep going, is def a sound and band I can get into.. Rock on!!!!!!!!
As a norwegian person, its very interesting how his accent is so noticeable! Usually that would annoy me, but in Einars case it adds like a cooler quality?either way his voice is great
So, I saw and heard this band live just a few days ago. First time even hearing about them. INSANE live. Guitars are a little heavier live (was this an happy accident, because it crushed so hard)
Vermillion honestly people have different definitions of metal.. for me, I find (almost) the whole album to be metal! I could not even for a second think of this album as rock. You don't need extremely heavy distortion on your guitar to he metal in my opinion.
There are two types of people in this world: the one who doesn't like Einar's voice and the one who adores it. I can't get enough of it, surely.
there are "people" not liking his voice? oO
What? Who doesn't like his voice?
unfortuantely, yes. they simply can't get used to it, even though they initially liked their music
I'm incredibly picky about singing voices. But Einar is my very favorite singer on Earth. It's hard for me to imagine anyone disliking his voice.
HAHAHA you're funny. Everybody loves his voice.
That slight change in the groove at 3:15 does all of the song
It's amazing how much changing a drum pattern can completely alter the sound of a song. If you liked that - and you haven't already - check out The Contortionist, Language Pt I and Pt II. Joey Bacca is the king of pocket grooves.
metric mods are the best
It's still 6/8 it's just a different pattern
for me it's the bass income at 1:57. Elevates the song to godlike levels
Well it’s slightly polymeric in that section isn’t it?
You know those days when you find a new band and never heard anything like it before, but it all just clicks?
Today was a good day.
Increíble. Yo sentí lo mismo cuando los conocí
I always have a strange feeling when i listen to Leprous songs for the first time... but as i am listening to it i start to realize that i can't stop listening to their songs, i never get used to it.

Tullius Heuer Same here! It's always a mystery whenever you discover new Leprous material, but that's one of the main things that makes it awesome!
That is how progressive metal/rock works man, at least to me, every progressive metal band that are nowadays on the top of my lists were strange and not so pleasant at the very beggining, but when you get used to the tempo of the specific track, with the dissonances applied frequently (which gives a mark to a band) and all the details in melody and chord progression (which makes progressive sound that way) you start to adapt your ear to a complex music and will start to really feel good by hearing it (again and again, the main difference between progressive and power metal is the fact that a ordinary power metal band feels annoying when you keep listen for many years, don't worry cause rhapsody and galneryus are not ordinary, they have progressive elements and neoclassical elements as well) + Leprous have creative musicians that can innovate a lot using the same ideas and by this way don't losing their identity, then your ears start to align with that specific well made sound and even if it is not as common as a power metal song should go, when you get used it feels even better.
Tullius Heuer Check out TesseracT dude, think they might intrigue you
Aw i know them, thanks for the suggestion. They're quite amazing. I started listening to them at almost same time as Leprous.
It is entering a hypnotic trance, a labyrinth of sounds that forces you to finish listening ...
It is like falling into a dimension of lower frequencies, with a feeling that feels like loneliness but not sadness.
I fell in love with Leprous TODAY guys. I have SEVEN albums to listen to. 🥹
Same. I fell in love with them a few days ago.
Did yah listen to it all. They are something else. Try Haken and Devin Townsend
Lucky you hahaha
@@MikeNevill3 found Haken on the same day actually. Also fantastic. I love the cinematic and theatrical aspect of the Haken universe. Cockroach King, Streams, Lapse, The Good Doctor. Incredible stuff
Einar's voice is devastatingly beautiful. Why do you like to make me cry?
This is possibly one of the best prog albums in existence
Yes, Malina and Bilateral are among the greatest for me.
YES!
Haken, Leprous, Dilemma, Opeth, Riverside, they all keep prog as well as my love to music alive
Tried to given Dilemma a listen.
Not a fan of the vocals, musically they're great.
Add The Contortionist to the mix
dear hunter is also incredible
You guys heard of Sleep Token? If not, I recommend listening from the early EPs onward. Worship. 🙏🏼
baard is making incredible things on this song; ghost notes, out of scale/time hits on hihat, the voice of 2 sticks hitting each other(that starts exactly at 1:31) etc... it's a big joy to just focus on him and listening to music like that.
That fill at 1:05 is so simple but yet so brilliant. Love it.
My God, that drumming🙏😭
I have no clue how Metalinjection gave this new album such a low score. Every song they've realized so far has been a banger.
Brandon Bakken Where did you find that review? I can't find it.
metalsucks, you mean? They gave it a 3 out of 5. Say its "ultimately cold and strangely flat."
We gotta start discovering bands for ourselves and discuss this as a community rather than having journalism tell us what’s good.
most of these metal critics have just average metalhead brain， not able to appreciate something intellectual
Lol, Metalinjetion for an album that is not metal
Why, am I just finding this band?!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! New LOVE, thank you
these guys have an infinite resource of inspiration. They will remain among the greatest bands in history, I so freakin sure of that
When the drummer threw the 3 over 4 polyrhythm on the hats I came.
Langa Dubazana what minute? I want to learn more about music :)
3:15 pay attention to the hi-hat
Yeeeeah ! I had no idea of the count, but yeah that's something that I really like everytime I listen to this song. Damn it Baard, why are you so great !
I agree
This is insane.
3:15 Poly Poly Poly Poly Po Po Poly rhythm
yeah dude 3:15 tripped me up haha
Bard is an animal. That beat should be illegal.
HAHA IT IS SO GREAT
It's actually a popolyly rhyrhythmthm
It's not a polyrhythm.
Their drummer never disappoints
Yes, Baard is always the best
Final verdict on this album: If you like powerful choruses, this album will blow you away. If you like Leprous's more experimental build up segments, you may be disappointed. The songs on the album are very focussed and condensed. I like it, others may not.
Its interesting how Leprous use similiar synth patches on their albums, it really connects tracks together, and it gives great listening experience when you listening full album.
Dejan Sukara that synth-y bass gave me a serious boner.
No words for this sound, leprous always elevates quality Prog.

I cannot wait for the entire album release. These songs are all killing me. The band is tighter than ever, and Einar's vocals, beyond awesome.
Tina Reggie Well, we only have to wait one more week, and judging by these songs this is going to be worth the wait!
His voice is so truly different from anything I’m used to. Not sure if it’s inflections, tones, style. Regardless I love it. These guys are hard to peg which makes them even more appealing. Very different. For the first time in my music listening experience someone that doesn’t automatically make me think of another band. Creative, engrossing, and exciting . Love it. A refreshing new sound ( at least to me).
Very nice guys, i think this is the one that breaks you globally...you put on a great show last year in Ottawa....keep having fun, enjoy the ride.
Took me a few listens to get this band and now I totally love it. Best thing I've found in a long time
This album is shaping up great! Can't wait for the entire album to come out.
I am here to bend the knee.
These guys are kings.
Norwegian Kings.
Dessislava Zheleva speaking of bending the knee, I suggest yall check out the band Bent Knee. Theyre pretty darn cool.
Sure, I will :)
I checked them, they're really great, thanks
Evan Brisson I was just listening to them, and then I saw your comment. Fantastic band indeed.
Idolizing this band for past 3 years ! This band never fails to amaze me
Most exciting one yet!
Probably the "more in consciousness" song I've heard those last months....
THan you so much Leprous for your music and heart.. Thank you so much...
I heard a person in my art class speaking about this band and out of curiosity I checked it out now I like it
This is freaking awesome!! So in love with the polyrythms. Reminds me a bit of Planet X!!
They absolutely took inspiration from Alien Hip-hop. The kick drum is almost exactly the same as Virgil's in that song.
I'm so in love with this band! I hope to see them live someday 😍😍😍😍
Brilliant again. Can't wait for my preorder with shirt to come in.
again these guys take a very interesting poly rhythmic approach to there music.very unique.i like that the drumming is very precise and carries everything,the drummer is the heartbeat of a band and so for this guy to be able to play thru these interesting time signatures and changes of the other instruments and to keep it organic and just tight.is absolutely commendable.i don't know who this drummer is..but i have seen a few of there videos now..and this guy is an amazing drummer.and for this singer..he has a very crisp air about his voice.very focused and clear.bet it was relatively easy for the guys on the board to dial him in and let him go in the studio as for the other voices.i like how you guys have taken such an amazing foundation and non conventional approach to your work and just spun that baby in the mixer and came out with a win..thumbs up
Einar voice and his musician members are so great!
Still one of my favorite Leprous songs, even years later.
From the Flame and Illuminate delighted me from the very first second but Stuck somehow remains behind. A few more songs like these two and will be an amazing album IMHO!
This song and all their songs are the result of top tier musicianship, love and passion for doing music. 🤘😍🤘
[lyrics]
Your road is paved yet coloured in black
Concealed by the night, it remains
Undiscovered until the dawn
Hidden from the light, it remains
When night confines you
Take my torch
Illuminate
Your God might not try[?]
Light your way
Illuminate
No ray meets your eyes
Find your day
Molded by the dark
Where your shelter lies
Covering your path
Invisible
The fire slowly dies
Couldn't stop your cries
Hidden by your wrath
Invisible
Invisible
Illuminate
Your God might not try[?]
Light your way
Illuminate
No ray meets your eyes
Find your day
Illuminate
Your God might not try[?]
Light your way
Illuminate
No ray meets your eyes
Find your day
Waiting for someone
Daring to see
Shades on your pathway
Leading to me

Enfin de l innovation dans le metal prog . Excellent ègalement a voir en live !!
These guys seriously do not let down with their new music, Leprous is phenomenal.
Masterpiece.
Awesome! So glad i got to see these guys in Calgary, when they came to Canada recently for this tour, amazing ambiance and presence live.
That displacement at 3:15.
I'm really digging the new tracks. I've been jumping back and forth between Stuck and From the Flame for a few days now. I can't wait to have the whole record on Itunes so I can just loop it.

Teun Segers bent knee is an amazing prog band
Teun Segers you should try VOLA, stray the skies is an awesome song
Teun Segers you should try Tetrafusion
Inmazes is amazing in its entirety! I second this recommendation.
Man, that intro is throwing me off. The left foot doing off-beats, the right foot making polyrhythmic beats, with the hands doing rudimentary hits while hitting strong accents every 3rd beat, is so damn hard to pull off, in my case. Mad props to Baard.
A lot happier after hearing this! Has more of a leprous feel than the past two singles had. Fingers crossed for the album!
So instead of making another less proggy radio version song, you guys actually made a song that quite represents your technicality and style.
You did it again, Leprous!
Wait until you hear the rest of the album. It's amazing!
So, you're trying to tell that "Stuck" and "From the Flame" don't fit their style?
And who are you to decide what Leprous' style is?
Akib Hossain This is definitely the proggier they've ever been. I couldn't keep myself from hearing the whole album
No he,s trying to tell you this: When you grew up listening to masterpieces
like TPS and Bilateral it,s quit dissapointing to witness the release
from the radio version S(t)uck"
That bass line... It has a "pulling" sound to it, quite awesome
this song beats the Eurovision contest every day!!!!!!
every leprous releases tbh
Great band. Its sound is unique, original and special. It can lead you for different magnificent moments and feelings. Awesome and elegant progressive rock!!
Greetings from Ecuador..
At first didn't like it that much, but now, damn! And the bass is amazing!!!!!
Wah!
These dudes did (again, as always) an outstanding job.
Fav single.
Hyped for the album
I'm a french people who discover this music because my name is "Leproust"
Courage

En plus, tu as un nom sympa. J'espère avoir dit ça correctement. J'utilise google traduction.
French too!
@@zentropy12 J'aime beaucoup cette musique ! Je n'écoute que des musiques rythmées !
that chorus is soooo good
Great thanks from the Czech Republic. Leprous You're great.
I'm a simple man. I see a new song from Leprous and I press like. Before listening...
The level of synchronicity this group has is astounding.
Nice to have a third video one week before release. I can't wait to hear the whole album! Based on what I heard with Stuck, From the flame and this one, for me Malina shape to be a really good album that I will listen a lot to.
YES!!! I absolutely love this! Great job, Leprous!
Oh god, I'm so hyped for this album, this might be one of my Top albums of this year!
You guys know this is not a music… this is a masterpiece craved by the best
The chorus of this song is indescribably powerful.
*Dayum* Cant wait for the whole album already !
Malina will be their best album, hands down
Liking the songs released so far, but I do hope there are some longer songs on the album as well. Leprous always shines best in longer songs.
Daniël Dekkers The longest song is 7 1/2 minutes long. One thing that I've noticed is that their songs are getting progressively shorter with each passing album. Not that I mind though, because they make every second count.
oh man, im just lost for words for this band.
I like this band a lot, I like that they definitely have there own style..
Yet, they have a very, very, solid sound..
I would definitely like to see them keep going, is def a sound and band I can get into..
Rock on!!!!!!!!
I'm all about this song atm... on in my car every day!
Masterpiece. Intelligent and Soulfull
That a melodic weaving of music and intense voice . Just Wow!
Thanks for uploading this song today. Best birthday gift ever!!
Oh good i was gonna show this to my little brother a couple of days ago and it couldnt be found on youtube at all. Now an official video. Great stuff
Baaaaard!!!! That rhythm is fucking gorgeous! That change, OMG.
As a norwegian person, its very interesting how his accent is so noticeable! Usually that would annoy me, but in Einars case it adds like a cooler quality?either way his voice is great
Love the vocals. Very tight harmonies.
Another amazing song. This album will kicks ass.
I can't get it from my head. Good.
Close to "The Price" Level. All hope isn't gone. Love these Guys
this song is like a melodic panic attack. i love it.
Can't wait for Malina!
Love the album!!!
Absolutely stunning track. Just stunning.
Oh guys, you did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
j'adore ce groupe bonne ambiance .
This is more enjoyable and make your body fill with energy better than 2 earlier song they release.
The chorus is life
So, I saw and heard this band live just a few days ago. First time even hearing about them. INSANE live. Guitars are a little heavier live (was this an happy accident, because it crushed so hard)
This Song made my day!
Very good song !!!!!!!! Well done !!! We love it
Belleza musical. Perfecto.
No leprous song ever sounds impressive to me until the chorus kicks in. Then, the whole song melts my brain. Who needs drugs.
Fantastic!!!!
So brilliant..!!!
Some may say Leprous is the best Prog metal band ever, or even just the best prog band in general. I say, simply put, they're the best band ever.
Except this album isn't metal at all.
JakePriest you haven't heard the whole album yet then 😏
ruslan mam why not? It's been leaked already and there isn't much metal to be found. But "weight of disaster" owns.
Vermillion honestly people have different definitions of metal.. for me, I find (almost) the whole album to be metal! I could not even for a second think of this album as rock. You don't need extremely heavy distortion on your guitar to he metal in my opinion.
it's not metal. but it's also not rock. so what is it?
