This. I grew with this band from the very first album, from their support shows for Therion, until Coal phase, but at Malina we split our ways. This is not Leprous I want to listen to, good to hear, nothing to remember.

[@JeremyJensenTheOriginal]

Perfect description. Unfortunately this song has killed my hype for the album. I don't mind when metal bands actively work to break the shackles of being "metal" -- but this song was honestly boring instrumentally. I like Einar's vocals, but it's the instruments that made Leprous one of my favorite metal bands, and those do not feel present enough.

[@paulsadler8296]

@@JeremyJensenTheOriginal I could agree that it's perhaps harmonically boring (very much a stock chord sequence), but in no way is it instrumentally boring, in places the interplay between them is pretty intricate. Anyway, on second listen I actually love it, despite myself!
