Why Leprous is the best band in the universe

   Seriously tho, in my book no other band stretches the boundaries of songrwriting in such a refreshing, non-pretentious and epic way, 
crazy inventive but always focussed on the whole. Einar's voice is pure bliss and so is Baard's drumming. Their rhythmsection is beyond imaginative, 
their atmosphere one of the densest out there and their melodies are catchy and/or odd as hell.
I mean who thinks: "hey i can play the same 2 notes in the same pattern for 6 minutes straight, thats sounds awesome!" ?!... but it ends up working:

the uneven timesignatures together with this godly beast of a voice...

their bombast is also not to underestimate! (from the newest album)

(mid-end of this song)

if you want it a bit wilder, just go back to tall poppy syndrom (that album is possibly one of the greatest ever!)

and one word on baard...

tldr:
Avant-Garde-metal & progressive pop music - never sounded so pleasant!!
I can literally recommend every singe album from tall poppy syndrom onwards! :)
