A while back we announced a video was in the making, and now everything is ready for your eyes and ears. 'The Cloak' is our second music video, and we're extremely excited to finally release it! Enjoy!"For another preview of Coal, please check out the previously released album track "Chronic" here.

Chosen as the backing band for former EMPEROR frontman and countryman Ihsahn (a progressive black metal musician and legend in his own right), LEPROUS has, despite their young age, tried it all-- which is clearly reflected in their music. For every part PAIN OF SALVATION and KING CRIMSON one may hear, there is an equal amount of SHINING (NO) and DEVIN TOWNSEND in the mix, with hints of KATATONIA and OPETH in amidst sparks of PORCUPINE TREE and PINK FLOYD.
To pre-order Coal, please visit CM Distro for the album in a variety of formats.
