Hi guys, popping in after almost two years
.
Anyways, I saw Leprous a couple of hours ago in Ilosaarirock. I was first introduced to them by
Nem Mora in my roulette errrrm... four years ago, I've been listening them sometimes for about a year, and mostly songs off Bilateral. I first thought I'd go see them, Devin Townsend Project and Between the Buried and Me in Helsinki last February, but it didn't happen. I almost didn't go to Ilosaarirock today, but made up my mind in the morning. I listened to couple of them newer songs from Live at Rockafeller in the morning, to see what songs they might be playing.
They were actually soundchecking 10 minutes before the show, I don't know why, maybe the organizers fucked up or something. The set was great, versatile (I have the set list, I'll post a pic at the end of this post) and very intense. Einar is an amazing frontman. They were really dressed for the occasion, all guys were wearing dress shirts (the drummer was shirtless before the set was halfway through though
). I knew most of the songs they were playing, thanks to my morning prep session, highlights for me were Forced Entry, The Cloak and Slave, which was an amazing closing song. Rewind was a bit shorter version, and Slave might have been, I'm not sure. The new song From the Flame is pretty cool, proggy verses and a big chorus.
Here's the setlist:
E: It was actually MoraWintersoul who sent me Bilateral in my roulette, not Nem.
