Concerts Coverage

Leprous, the Norwegians rocked Sunday night.

The progressive rock band Leprous with more than 20 years of experience, returned to Buenos Aires on March 16, at Teatro Flores, after a little more than a year since their last visit, (remember that Einar Solberg, leader and singer, was with his solo tour last year 2024) it seems that they like Latin America!

Opening the night the Argentinian band FUGHU, formed in 1999, rose to fame when they opened for Dream Theater in 2008, at the Luna Park stadium, and since then the band has not stopped growing.
With a magnificent performance and a very original staging, they left us all ready for what was expected of the night.

The big moment arrived when Leprous took the stage, The band opened with “Silently Walking Alone”, a wonderful and very successful song from their recent album “Melodies of Atonement”, Before continuing with the next song, Einar asked the Argentine audience to sing the classic Ole Ole Ole, The fans automatically started chanting!


The staging of this band is wonderful, the interaction and connection between the members, moving from one side to the other, with small dances, make us experience a show with a lot of energy.


But as expected, Einar Solberg stole the show! His vocal ranges show us day after day that he is the best progressive metal singer today.


For the sixth song, Einar had the fans choose which one they would play between Forced Entry and Passing, which “Passing” won.
After several hits, “Faceless” arrived but with a pleasant surprise, with the fans on the stage, singing the chorus of the song.


The band left the stage for a moment, for a short break, and with the crowd cheering on more songs, they returned to the stage to close with “Atonement, and The Sky Is Red.”

With a setlist of almost two hours, Leprous gave a tour of their incredible albums that have marked the lives of many of their fans.
