Leprous

The venue by the looks of it is just another converted hall (only accessible by a flight of stairs) with a bar to the side of the stage. The venue is completely flat and even the sound/lighting stage had trouble seeing over the crowd's heads to see the stage. I was at the back of the room with a seat provided for me, but was hard to see. If not for Leprous using step risers on stage I would not have seen much atr all.

For the price of the ticket, we got to see 4 bands including Leprous (including the solo cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheNihilisticGod), that played with them on stage), a great surprise I was not expecting. The bands were a good mix but very all had the characteristic of playing odd time signatures.

Leprous had 2 songs left off their encore because of venue curfew. Queue to the venue wasn't too long, but due to organisation, the queue was only halfway in when the first act started playing.

Great performance by Leprous, glad to see them headlining as they were so good as a support act to Devin Townsend. No nonsense or endless talking, just ROCK! :)

I saw Leprous in Detriot and let me say - it was well worth the 3 hr trip from Columbus. I feel in love with the band after Bilateral after getting great reviews on Prog Archives and rate your music, and Coal was a decent followup. Hearing it live though, Coal is an album that really benefits from being performed live. Not too much banter between songs, and the setlist was pretty much what you'd expect, probably 60-70% off Coal, with a few songs from Bilateral and I believe 1 from Poppy Seed. They came out for an encore and played 2 more songs, including Forced Entry which may have been the highlight (Chronic live was exceptional as well). I'm disappointed the turnout was so low (maybe 3-4 dozen) for such an epic band traveled all the way from Norway, but this is their first US tour and hopefully they can become more popular here in America. They have to be regarded as nothing less than rock Gods in Norway.

Einar was sick on the day and an announcer came to tell the band was on the verge of cancelling the show but didn't. After the concert started, couldn't tell the difference. Everybody played out of their minds. It's great to see Raphael more and more integrated into the songs, it's great to watch him live. Some songs from Pitfalls really grow on you live, such as the Sky is Red. Amazing concert and performance!

Saw this group supporting Devin Townsend in London and I was blown away! They had no banter between songs they just got on with rocking the Apollo. Superb singer and drummer drifting through odd time signatures like a boss!! After they had finished I felt compelled to buy one of their albums off the merch stand! I have added them to my list to go see in England when they come back.

SPERE! what a good support!

Saw Leprous 2 years ago at debaser and they always deliver AWESOMENESS

Einar's voice was not as good this year as last time (end of a heavy tour?)

but just a blast!

will go every time they come to Sweden!

Saw them at Hedon, Zwolle. They were really fucking good. I wish they'd play some songs from their old albums though, but that's more of a personal gripe. Also, Einar cracked some lame jokes and was a bit awkward in a funny, endearing way.

Leprous put on a great show. They had tons of energy and sounded great. I'd definitely see them again. Their light show was a bit overwhelming at times, but didn't take away from the experience. The opener Bent Knee was great as well.

Leprous are one of the best live acts I have ever seen. They have never disappointed and always exceed expectations. If you are into to their type of music, I highly recommend going to see them live.

They're ready to represent their country ath the Eurovision song contest. This will be the last time I went to see Leprous. How much they've gone full emo since The Congregation is appalling.

Fantastic show. All four bands were great, and the venue being so small makes for a nice, intimate atmosphere.
Highly recommended to see Leprous, as they really put on a great show! \m/
