Leprous April 23, 2010 Norwegian avantgarde progressive metal band LEPROUS have launched what is believed to be the world's very first mobile website for a metal band. The site, www.leprous.net/mobile, is specifically created for use on modern day smartphones, such as the iPhone, the Blackberry and iPod Touch. With four times as many mobile phones with internet connection than stationary home computers, many businesses worldwide has found the need for updating their homepages to work well on the mobile platform. However, the music business has been lacking in this field and we're very proud to say that LEPROUS (to our knowledge at least) is the first metal/hard rock band ever to enter the mobile world with a homepage specifically designed for iPhone/iPodTouch/Blackberry. Leprous April 19, 2010 We really enjoyed playing on the intimate stage on Skuret in Oslo in February, so we've decided to return to Skuret on Wednesday the 5th of May (the day before our concert in Copenhagen). The support band of the evening will be the side project of our drummer Tobias called "(...) minutes of death and back". We hope to see you there!!

Leprous April 05, 2010 Currently we're working on the next Leprous album. We've written six songs so far, and we have two more in progress. The names of the songs we've made so far are: "Forced Entry", "Waste of Air", "Indifference", "Solitude", "Thorn" and "Bilateral". We've recorded a demo of three of the songs in our home studio, and we might release some short samples from it within the next weeks to give you all a little hint of the direction we're heading. When and where we will enter the studio is still to be decided, as some important things needs to be sorted out, but we hope to be able to enter the studio in the not to distant future.
