Leprous announce new album Melodies Of Atonement will be released in August

Leprous.

Norwegian prog metallers Leprous have announced that they will release their latest studio album, Melodies Of Atonement, through InsideOut Music in August.

The band have been recording their eighth studio album, the follow-up to 2021's acclaimed Aphelion, over the last few months with David Castillo at Ghost Ward Studios in Sweden, while mixing with Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves, etc.) and mastering with Robin Schmidt (The 1975, Placebo, The Gaslight Anthem, etc.).

"Melodies Of Atonement is the name of our new album and like every band on earth thinks about their new album, we feel like it’s our best one so far," the band exclaim. "But in this case, it happens to be true... The orchestral elements are gone, which gives more space for each individual band member to shine. It’s straight to the point, and heavier than what we’ve been in a while... It’s a new sound. But it’s still Leprous. We can't wait for you to hear it!"

The band have also revealed the new front cover artwork which was created based on photography by John Dolan and designed by Ritxi Ostáriz, which you can see below.

At the same time the band have just announced North American tour dates for September and October with UK prog metallers Monuments and Norwegian metal quartet Fight The Fight as support. You can view the new US dates and ticket information below.

Leprous will also perform at an array of European music festivals throughout the summer, including a headline slot at Manchester's Radar Festival in July.
