Sensory Records signs Leprous

Sensory is proud to announce the signing of Norwegian progressive metal upstarts LEPROUS. Hailing from the town of Notodden - home to such metal luminaries as Emperor, Zyklon, Ihsahn and Peccatum - LEPROUS formed in 2001 and features within its ranks Einar Solberg (synth/vocals; live Emperor), Tor Oddmund Suhrke (guitar), Halvor Strand (bass), Øystein Landsverk (guitar) and Tobias Ørnes Andersen (drums). With an eclectic list of influences ranging from King Crimson, Tool, Massive Attack and Peccatum to Devil Doll, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mr. Bungle and Chopin and ages ranging from just 18 to 23 years, the young quintet have already made themselves visible on the Norwegian prog and metal scenes as two-time finalists in the prestigious Norwegian Rock Championship. Of particular note: LEPROUS is currently working as legendary Emperor main man Ihsahn's session band, supporting Swedish progressive death metal juggernaut Opeth on their Norwegian tour this March. Last August, the diligent quintet recorded Tall Poppy Syndrome which is set for release this April via Sensory Records.
