This band is a gift to all who thought that all the best music is already written

[TheErazar]

The backing vocals have no business being this good

[williamkjwilliamkj]

This is a band that should be winning Grammys.

[curtisgiesbrecht]

Man I always feel nervous for Einar. He sets these near impossible vocal lines and nails them.

[adszulc]

I listen to heavy music actively for more than 30 years and I've heard thousands of albums. And yet, this is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard in my entire life... It speaks to me on such a deep level that I cannot describe it with any words. Thank you guys for all of your music and art...

[marloc]

They're all incredibly gifted musicians but Baard Kolstad is simpy off charts

[elrujosoio]

First time I heard Aphelion I just thought "boring". The more I heard it, the more I was changing idea. This song is a masterpiece and it is really hard to describe all the emotions that it can evoke. I just remember when I saw Leprous live last week that I saw people crying like babies when they played On Hold.

[BloodyBrahms]

If i don't hear this everyday, my day is incomplete.

[alizeze]

I am back here once again
In the mist, In the mist without sight
Thought I fought my way back
Now I'm afraid, I'm afraid to lose hope

Will I ever be the man
In control, in control of his world?
Open wounds that will not heal
Pull me back, pull me back inside

And I, I was always on the side
Of conformities and pride
Had no shelter from the rain

And I, I was always on the side
So I kept my little lie
To be safe from what may come

To be lonely inside of my thoughts
A state that I tend to avoid
But if I can't get to them I think no-one can

Moving forward nonetheless
I'm afraid this is how I've become

How can I sort it out, when I don't even know what I'm looking for?
If I only knew, then at least I could deal with it

I don't even have a plan
On how to move forward from here

And I, I was always on the side
Of conformities and pride
Had no shelter from the rain

And I, I was always on the side
So I kept my little lie
To be safe from what may come

All my life is on hold
In this moment
There's nothing here but darkness

My life is on hold
It's on hold
Until I've figured out this maze

I hold my breath and count to ten
Maybe then it will all go away
Distraction strategies may work
But only, only for so long

I, I was always on the side
Of conformities and pride
Had no shelter from the rain

I, I was always on the side
So I kept my little lie
To be safe from what may come - come

And I, I was always on the side
Of conformities and pride
Had no shelter from the rain

My life is on hold
In this moment
There is nothing here but darkness

My life is on hold
It's on hold
Until I've figured out this maze

My life is on hold
In this moment
There is nothing here but darkness

My life is on hold
It's on hold
Until I've figured out this maze

[scotttill]

I just discovered these guys. With a name like Leprous, you'd think they were like some Norwegian death metal...not the case obviously. So talented. Einar has incredible range.

[albertoiezzi]

How is it possible that i discover only today this band? And the craziest thing is that they will play in my city this summer...

[もぐり-oq]

Perfect song. Leprous is unique. We are waiting for you to come to Japan. With love.

[haritodecebolla]

The most marvellous and devastating song from Aphelion. Can't wait to hear it live.

[marianna]

I can't say nothing...but you guys...are angels...No doubt...

[krgrse]

The level of talent and musicianship between these 5 dudes is just staggering. Varma hälsningar från grannlandet i öst

[mogensiversen]

Leprous has been the most important band for me for nearly 5 years. By far!

[Parrish_Muhoberac]

I am not easily impressed by most music. THIS however.. 20 seconds in - and I'm typing as it progresses - am LOVING THIS. And the harmonies, like System of a Down, are 2 totally different vocal timbres on their own, but when combined are a symphony. Beautiful stuff. Can't believe I have never come across these guys before. Amazing.

[GhostKumo]

Those vocal harmonizations at 5:46, absolute CHILLS

[jwlcs]

That chorus hits like a truck. Love how dynamic the track is.

[PandaJP]

A masterpiece.. Leprous never disappointing us
