Album Review: Leprous - Malina

StarStarStarStar

"Weird, wild, wonderful and ridiculously enjoyable."

More Leprous Leprous

There are so many bands, locally and internationally, doing so much wonderful stuff with progressive music, and Norway's Leprous are one of the acts at the forefront of this movement.

Their fifth album is a veritable smorgasbord of weird, wild, wonderful and ridiculously enjoyable takes on the progressive sub-genre. There is just so much going on here that it's impossible to pin it all down. Suffice it to say that the listener will find their head spinning as they take the journey across its aural delights.

Best track among the gems is Mirage, which shows off Einar Solberg's majestic voice to best effect.

Malina is a masterpiece.
