Norwegian Rock outfit LEPROUS are pleased to share Silently Walking Alone, the second single/video from their highly anticipated 8th studio album Melodies Of Atonement, to be released on August 30th, 2024 via InsideOutMusic worldwide.
Norwegian Rock outfit LEPROUS reveal the details and pre-order for their upcoming and highly anticipated 8th studio album entitled “Melodies Of Atonement”, to be released on August 30th, 2024.
Kicking off the album campaign and their triumphant return, LEPROUS have also released a stunning and captivating new single/video entitled “Atonement”. Filmed in Poland and directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz, “Atonement” presents a fresh and dynamic side of the band sonically and visually, creating something thrillingly new yet reassuringly familiar for old and new fans of LEPROUS alike.
LEPROUS frontman Einar Solberg checked in with the following comment about “Atonement”: “’Atonement’ is a different kind of single than what we’ve done before. It’s heavy, it’s catchy and straight to the point. It’s a song we believe will unify old and new fans at the same time as it has a fresh and new sound…This is the sound of LEPROUS in 2024.”
“Melodies Of Atonement” was recorded with David Castillo at Ghost Ward Studios in Sweden, mixed by Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves, etc.) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, Placebo, The Gaslight Anthem, etc.). The artwork is based on photography by John Dolan with design by Ritxi Ostáriz.

Norwegian Rock outfit LEPROUS are pleased to announce the coming of their new, 8th studio album entitled “Melodies Of Atonement” to be released in August via InsideOutMusic worldwide.
LEPROUS checked in with the following comment about “Melodies Of Atonement”: “’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! 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!”
LEPROUS recorded “Melodies Of Atonement” across the last 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.). The album’s front cover artwork (To be seen below!) was created based on photography by John Dolan and design by Ritxi Ostáriz.
