Norwegian Progsters Leprous are back in the studio working on the follow-up album to 2013s acclaimed release Coal, which was successfully promoted with tours through Europe, Japan, North America and the UK. The still-untitled new album is expected for a May 2015 release via InsideOutMusic. LEPROUS have checked in with the following update straight from the studio: Were super-stoked about the new material we have composed. Its not really Coal material, following our mantra about not making the same album twice. The writing process has been very different this time. Most of the music has been made by Einar, on a computer. Almost all the guitar riffs for example (and Einar has no idea about how to play guitar...), so the guitar players were up for a challenge. At the moment were finished recording drums, and Baard has delivered a stunning performance, so now its time for the rest of us, to lay down the guitars, bass and keys, before we round the whole thing up with vocals-recordings in the beginning of the new year. Mixing and mastering will take place in late January, so we expect a release in May, but all of that is up to our label. Right now, were just concentrating on doing our part to perfection. LEPROUS have recorded the drums for their new album in Swedens Fascination Street / Studio Gröndal with David Castillo (Katatonia, Opeth) and will - just like on Coal and its preceding album Bilateral - be mixing the album with Jens Bogren at Fascination Street studio. Extensive touring plans are already in the works for LEPROUS and will be revealed soon. A few first festival appearances have also already been confirmed and announced as follows: A promotional video clip for the track The Cloak can be seen here: youtube/watch?v=_9o2nVY8FZ0 Another song off Coal entitled Chronic can be heard here: https://soundcloud/officialinsideoutmusic/leprous-chronic
