Leprous - The Cloak

[nomisofsiman]

Pretty soft for a single from them. Don't know what I think of it yet.

You can expect to get your face ripped off by other tunes on the disc such as "Contaminate Me" (why hello there Mr. Ihsahn...).

This. 1000x this.

 

[Artizan]

The dynamics in this song are similar to the Phil Collins song 'In the Air Tonight.' I would say that is a good thing. Phil is worth $250 million.

Also, a fucking cool setting that they filmed in.

Want to listen so bad, but I'm holding off until my copy comes in. I burnt out "Restless" and "Thorn" when they were released prior to Bilateral.

Leprous, just like POS and Opeth are beyond the standard soft/slow/heavy/fast sort of analysis, imo. Pure art!

 

[Arabianhazard]

THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME.

 

[Claus / Intromental]

By far (!) the best disc of the year - in fact, this is the best metal album I've personally heard since Voivod's "Nothingface", which is 20+ years ago.

Hope the rest of the album is MUCH better than the "quiet" single

 

[Oblivion Ocean]

This song is simply amazing.

 

[zedowns]

The album is, as expected, pretty much perfect. The album is heavier than the single, but it's still pretty representative of the sound they're going for on the album. There's layers and layers of repeating vocal melodies throughout the album creating an awesome atmosphere, it's really something else.

I do have one pretty serious complaint, WHY ARE SOME OF THE LYRICS COVERED UP IN THE BOOKLET?

They're hidden in the Coal.

Only five songs in as I type this, but holy mother f'in crap is this disc amazing (so far)!
