After having performed at Metropolis Fest in Belarus with Dream Theater last weekend, Norwegian prog metallers LEPROUS continue to promote their newest studio album “The Congregation”, which was recently released worldwide via InsideOutMusic.
Today, LEPROUS are pleased to launch the lyric video for the album track “Slave”.
The clip was created by Costin Chioreanu of Twilight 13 Media.
Check it out here:
LEPROUS’ Einar Solberg checked in with the following comment about the track:
“I would say that Slave is one of the most emotional tracks of the album.
The foundation is simple, but the content is rich”.
LEPROUS previously launched a video clip directed by David Solbjørg and Kjetil Kolbjørnsrud of Twitchy Films for the album’s opening track “The Price”, which can be seen here
