Have you heard of the pirate themed band known as Ye banished privateers ? they are 11 in the group and have several vocalist in the group, they recently released a new video here on youtube (Sulphur Ahoy) it a christmas thingy ;)

[@mattywoo3649]

Have you done Mastodon in your Progressive rock reactions?

[@Fringway]

I'd love if you could do the reaction to Leprous' "Castaway Angels"!

[@ulverop]

Agreed!!!

[@YuriDeryous]

came here to say this!

[@fr2ncm9]

Castaway Angels practically brought tears to my eyes. Amazing performance!

[@VDiddy5000]

I would totally vote for this song if there was a poll. I’ve only recently heard it, but holy smokes is it FANTASTIC.

[@eriksalminen7429]

Indeed! Castaway Angels really showcasts both Einar's vocal and emotional range in a brilliant way.

[@overtheoverseer]

It's frustrating how few youtubers speak about Leprous, and Einar Solberg's unapparelled talent. Thank you for spotlighting this incredible band on your channel.

[@ИгорьМаньшин-у7с]

этот феномен закономерен-красота жемчуга не всем доступна

[@Bottleorum]

As a long time prog metal fan, just came here to simpy say that Leprous really took me by surprise in the last 2 years. Saw them live last year, and it was a top 3 performance ever after several dozen shows of various bands.

[@overtheoverseer]

@@Bottleorum you've basically had the same experience as me then. Got into them during the lockdown, aswell as Caligula's Horse. Saw them twice in the last couple of years, and they quickly became my favourite band.

[@brucelevy]

@@Bottleorum Saw them last night for the first time. Incredible.

[@DavidMateos56]

You have an intense voice crush on Einar's, Elizabeth. Don't worry, it's ok and very common. He's amazing. I feel like you might appreciate Joe from Gojira's screaming too.

[@HCXWinchester]

Global warming would be really impressive first listen ;)

[@SamI-ne9fh]

Let's be honest, I think we all have an intense regular crush on Einar. ;)

[@mortisant3173]

Definitely. She should check out the Art of Dying by Gojira. A lot going on with the vocals in that song

[@iau]

Yes! Joe's and Einar's screaming are some of the few I tolerate. I think it's because they scream on pitch.

[@The1stMrJohn]

😀

[@87FordMudder]

You need to do "Contaminate Me" from the same concert. Ihsahn and Einar are a life changing mix.

[@mattsanchez81]

I absolutely second this!

[@victorreboucas5356]

Ihsahn scream in that song is out of this world

[@thevilifyingforce]

Great choice!

[@TwoandaHater]

or Acquired Taste for more emotion.

[@neuroticgothguy]

second this, Ihsahn has a unique screechy scream, then again Ihsahn is LEGEND!

[@ragnarfredjson6799]

"His screaming is almost pretty" Hell yes, it is ! And your reaction to his singing is just priceless !!! This band like many others (Ihsahn, Devin, Opeth etc...) are just re-defining the concept of composition in metal music. They are using the beauty of extreme metal to deliver much more emotions than in the traditionnal raw sounding metal genres. Please give Opeth a chance. Magnificant band with a very unique vocalist and sound. The song "Deliverance" from the lamentations DVD is a very good starter :)

[@Artemisstress]

I love, love, looove...that is someone who feels Einar so much as I do. He deserves all the emotions. His voice is just amazin. No words...

[@polarbearjimmy]

Still waiting for some more Leprous!

[@docazzdocazz8669]

A recommendation ? Simple .... Leprous - "Below" or Leprous - "The Cloak"

[@mikedykins9815]

Couldn't have said it better

[@lassehakala968]

Alleviate. 🤘

[@TheBemontsOfficial]

Or Alleviate or distant bells

[@mariovrandecic5690]

I vote for those too! Elizabeth, if you read this, bring us more Leprous reactions!

[@frankenblog]

[@MrRoundthetwist]

I keep coming back to this thank you Elizabeth!

[@Olphas]

It's back on! Looking forward to this very much. Since I discovered Leprous a few weeks ago I have seen this particular video at least once every day. Still haunting and fascinating

[@TheDondoran]

Einar is amazing. "Castaway Angels" and "Distant Bells" are emotional rollercoasters for me, but it's all amazing. I also really love his vocal performance on a song from their recent album, "On Hold." And, then, "Rewind" from The Congregation is probably my favorite Leprous song.

[@Panda_SMM]

I genuinely hope you get around to doing Leprous again sometime. There's not many who have listened to their song called Acquired Taste, at the same Rockefeller Music Hall, I hope it's something you pick. The amount of emotion Einar brings to this beautiful song, like he does with every song, is nothing short of a gift to us all.

[@caltagos]

Yeah, I really like that live version better than any other on KZbin or the studio one

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thanks for the recommendation! I very much enjoy Einar's voice, so I would definitely like to hear him more.

[@Sccotttttttttttttt]

That live version of the song is my favorite piece of leprous music. I would lpve to hear her analyse that one

[@milton1448]

YES- Acquired Taste would also be my suggestion

[@thatfuckereranfortus]

Gotta agree!!

[@pavelmuller2095]

Why do I have tears watching you reacting to singers?

[@trulybtd5396]

Just saw this live ab hour ago. It was amazing

[@timhutchinson8485]

For other Leprous songs, I recommend "Below" or "Alleviate".

[@mrslucifer92]

Please please please more Leprous!! I think you'd love The Sky is Red

[@viforlaur4446]

I say listen to Symphony X - The divine wings of tragedy, because appreciating Kiske means you'll love Russel Allen's voice

[@theicedevil]

I absolutely love that song, but why pick such a long epic? That song is 20 minutes long. Be reasonable with your song choices. It's better to start with "The Odyssey" instead. 😁

[@Benny_painter]

Amazing group! Must ad some of them to my playlists, such beautiful and moving music and singing. Thanks for doing these guys.

[@vigridr7614]

Wow! Was not expecting Leprous, such a cool band with lots to discover. Einar's voice is incredible and his technique is ridiculous, but I guess he wouldn't have it any other way growing up around insanely talented people - must be cool having Ihsahn as your brother-in-law!

[@caltagos]

And starofash as your sister. So lucky

[@someonesusingmyname]

Elizabeth, you are amazing. I appreciate your complete adoration of music. Watching you feel music and appreciate it with all of you is something I can relate to. Keep doing what you're doing. It's some of the best analyis/reaction content on KZbin.

Leprous just released a live studio version of On Hold, a song that just grips me to my core about the pain of just enduring through mental illness to come out the other side.

On Hold is in my top 5 Leprous songs. It is so deep and makes me hurt for him hearing it.

You seem a delightful human! You also seem to enjoy so much that I almost feel we witnessed an immaculate coception of sorts ... lol . Thank you for the incredibly positive vibes!

[@clarqu3]

I just found your channel today! Something I've grown to appreciate from seeing musicians from a certain background react to other genres that they're not familiar with is the mutual respect all around. Especially opera/jazz musicians reacting to metal. It's easy to get lost in the grit and coarseness of the music but to sit back and just appreciate the level of skill and dedication required to get to that level... Musicians can all understand the amount of dedication and work required, no matter the genre. Much love, and glad I found your channel!

[@deleth]

Wow i didn't know this band, thank you for this video, now i will explore more of them

[@venahtmusic]

Something I love about your reactions is that it's clear that you listen to music very intently, and not just by verbalizing everything you're hearing but your body language is awesome. You lean into and away, your facial expressions reflect the moments in the music, and then you catch really subtle details I haven't noticed before either.

[@AlfaBravo7777]

I love your reactions to his voice

[@gabrieldepallens9914]

Thank you so much to bring a video of this band. They are amazing. This song is epic!

[@valseth95]

If you want to listen to more Leprous, you should check out The Sky Is Red - Live from 2020. Probably the most epic outro ever made in music history. Also, thank you for checking out my favorite band out all time

[@AMikeStein]

I just watched the drum play through about 15 minutes ago and it’s such an amazing composition. I don’t think I’ve ever seen drums played so smoothly yet so erratic at times. These guys are so fascinating.

[@reneskarmyr]

Wow! You just put into words what many of us Leprous fans feel about this amazing singer in this amazing band! I thank you for this🙏🏻 So I am from Norway, same as Leprous, and I’ve been so lucky that I have seen them 7 times live. And believe me when I say that these guys are special. They have the potential to become the next Tool, and that says a lot. Do yourself a favor and check out At The Bottom from their latest album Pitfalls. Makes me cry... And Einar is BRILLIANT! Again; thank you for this wonderful reaction🙏🏻 All the best from🇳🇴

[@samanthatate3249]

Yes! At the bottom!!!

[@helenhunt5414]

You are right about everything, but they are already so much better than Tool - Tool has not a single song that melodically can match Leprous songs. Danny is interesting to watch only from a technical point of view, Baard is not only technical, but also musical and such a charismatic drummer. I also love Einar's voice and style more than Maynard's, but maybe it's a matter of taste. It also doesn't hurt, that Leprous regularly releases topnotch albums - every single one of which has at least several masterpieces . All in all - Leprous is hands down the best band in the world right now, maybe even of all time.

[@InAnAspect]

I'm very happy to have found your channel. I've watched a bunch of reaction videos over the last year or two but I've come to love yours more than most. The face you make as you get excited is exactly how I feel like I look when listening to certain music. I grew up listening to my father play guitar and sing since I was in the womb and I've grown up in a household where music makes you weep the 1st time or 1000th time you hear a great song, or even part of a song, with encouragement. I've gotten to take my dad to as many concerts of music I love as he did for me when I was a kid. And even turned my grandmother onto A Perfect Circle, which she listens to every time she's in my car. =] My wife loves it when certain songs come on because the joy in my face is only really captured by a few things, and music is a continued source of that joy. She also asks me to explain to her what it is I love about the certain parts of songs (or entire songs) so I get to really delve into what it is and why I love it. So to be able to point to another person that has that same reaction I do is great. Some recommendations I have for unique and talented vocalists: Claudio Sanchez (with or without Coheed and Cambira): "Hello" (Adele cover, one beautiful voice covering another) "Atlas" (live, solo, acoustic cover of the song he wrote for his newborn son) and "Mother Superior" (acoustic version of a Coheed and Cambria song with the full band) are some of the live standouts. Anthony Green from Circa Survive: Anything really but I think the best show of his incredible and unique voice is on the youtube video of "Get Out (Myspace Transmissions)" Andrew Mailloux from Rishloo: This one would be harder to find. If you compare live recordings (all I could find is phone recordings so they have A LOT of noise and aren't the best quality) to the record, you can hear the record is a relatively untouched vocal track. Having seen them live a dozen or two times over the last 20 years I can confirm they sound very similar. I would check out "Scissorlips" or "Landminds" as the best showing of his vocal capabilities. Thank you for your content. Love the channel and I'll be going through the rest of your videos as fast as I can. Cheers

[@TheBlackManOnline]

Tesseract "Phoenix" studio recording or "Tourniquete"... She will love Daniel Tompkins

[@lukaszd536]

I agree, Eden and Beneath my skin /mirror image are particularly beautiful. I would also recommend Below and At the bottom by Leprous. These are truly epic.

[@TheHumbleSkaterCrew]

I agree, would love to see her react to Daniel Tompkins

[@delwhin]

I always want reactors to react to Daniel Tompkins whether skyharbor or tesseract!

[@elamshin6607]

Daniel Tompkins visited Earthside's album as well, A Dream in Static is just superb.

[@alondite215]

Dan is one of a very few vocalists that I would actually consider to be better than Einar. Though she'd be better off listening to something from Skyharbor, particularly off Guiding Lights; Tesseract is great, but his Skyharbor stuff is just a cut better.

Einar hitting that insane octave in the chorus of the song "All The Moments" was wild too. I like prog already and a lot of prog bands have incredible vocalists but that sealed it for me and genuinely made me think he might be one of the most talented singers out there. Absolutely insane control over his voice. You could be half as good as him and still be incredible.

[@Peertjoh]

Saw them live last year. Einar is amazing! His brother in law, Ihsanh, has a really awesome scream too. He performs on 'Contanimate me' from the same concert as this song. I also want to recommend (the late) Warrel Dane. I think he had classical training. Nevermore - Sentient 6 live.

[@ckokomo808]

Thanks for checking them out. I’m glad you enjoy them! Leprous is one of my favorite bands. This song in particular really brings out an emotional reaction EVERY time I listen. Between the lyrics, Einar’s vocal expression, the instrumental tension, and song structure, it makes me tear up. I find this song (and most of their songs) interesting in that they seem to creat sections and sit in a pocket for a bit and then move on to the next. They like to revisit sections with few changes. For this song in particular, there is TONS of emotion build without much movement. The song itself doesn’t actually go anywhere- it sits in a ruminatory state (which might be why it’s such a taxing listen- like you mentioned early). I like to think about their songs as an emotional journey to nowhere. Thanks so much for sharing as always and see you next video! ✌🏽

[@chrismendez7163]

Such a great analysis of his voice. "Acquired Taste" from the same concert also does a great job showing off his range, musical interpretation, and timbre throughout!

[@vigridr7614]

Very glad you were able to get this unblocked Elizabeth! What a wonderful video. You're definitely right in that his screams are unlike anything that's been on the channel so far - clear black metal influence, which makes perfect sense considering his upbringing and the band's roots, although Einar has said on multiple occasions that he dislikes that he generally can't really push his screams the way he would like to and that they always come out too quiet. "Contaminate Me" from the same show at the Rockefeller is a perfect example of what he means by that and an amazing display of the insane talent within the Solberg/Tveitan family. Heidi (or as many of us know her, Ihriel) as well as her three brothers Einar, Kenneth and PZ (all of which have worked with her and Leprous or Peccatum) are awesome in their own right, the fact they were fortunate enough to have grown up with Ihsahn one of the pioneers of black metal as well as one of the best composers for metal in general turns to no surprise that Leprous sounds the way they do. I'm so happy they have been seeing the success they deserve.

The scream that he did, is a shrieking vocal style commonly used in Black Metal. A high pitshed demonic sounded scream that is full of emotion, pain, dispair and blends well with the sound of that genre. Atmospheric and/or symphonic black metal is a journey. As allways.. stay healthy!

Great reaction always! Einar is one of those singers whose voice js instantly recognisable and universally loved. I have shown leprous to many of my friends who dont even usually listen to this type of music and they all pointed out how amazing his voice is. Some other great songs for reactions are Contaminate Me (same concert) and Below (official video). They also have a ton of great music that i dont think is exactly reaction-friendly , but you should check out on your free time if you like what you have heard. On the subject of yodelling, my mind instantly went to Hocus Pocus by Focus. Bizzard and absolutely mind blowing song and performance in case you haven't heard it, I am 100% sure you will enjoy it thoroughly. As of other recommendations, I would love if you returned to Ayreon! Basically every song from the Ayreon universe concert is spectacular, in particular Everybody Dies (you can see Mike Mills again there), Intergalactic Space crusader, and from the Theater Equation live album , Day 2 is absolutely fantastic!

Hi Elizabeth, I Loved this performance and your reaction! This is the 1st time listening to this very unique Prog/Metal Band and I was Impressed by this song. The vocal melody which is elegant and majestic was simply Awesome! Einar's voice at the beginning is so hauntingly beautiful then switches to his strong screaming which was Amazing!

Daniel Tompkins is an amazing vocalist and he released a "live in the studio vocal performance" video this year for this song and others. Cheers from a Brazilian Fan

For me "The Sky is Red" is their best song, by far.

Leprous have been on my list to deep dive into for a while. Guess I know what i'm listening to while working today!

[@SemiMono]

I most appreciate music I can feel, music that gets better as I pay more attention until I have to stop whatever I was doing and just listen. Leprous is about as good as that gets.

[@colebengston3963]

Another of my favorite songs!

[@osborneborgao8508]

Listen Queensryche , Take Hold The Flame", great performance.

I can’t approve of this enough. I would love to hear her take on prime Geoff Tate.

Great Video as always - would love to have Valhalleluhja for Christmas :D

[@Zalixor]

Love your videos, your analysis and genuine reactions are great! Hot tip: Corpo-Mente - Arsalein [Live at Improve Tone Studios, 2015] Laure Le Prunenec has an amazing voice that I just can't get enough of.

Nice! I just happened to stumble across them on Spotify a few years back. The Valley and The Cloak are my favorites by Leprous.

Please do Oathbreaker - 10:56 / Second Son Of R (Audiotree live session)

[@ni_n__ho.oh__n_in]
