Leprous released into Slavery

Leprous have released a lyric video for their track Slave.

It’s taken from fifth album The Congregation, launched in May via InsideOut.

Mainman Einar Solberg says: “Slave is one of the most emotional tracks of the album. The foundation is simple – but the content is rich.”

He recently discussed the band’s focus on retaining their creative integrity, saying: “If we’d started considering all the feedback we get from everyone we’d be completely confused. In a composition process, the most important thing is to keep your distance from all expectations.”
