LEPROUS – LAUNCH “HAVE YOU EVER?” DRUM PLAY THROUGH VIDEO; FINAL DATES OF EUROPEAN TOUR; ANNOUNCE TOUR OF LATIN AMERICA!
Norwegian Rock outfit LEPROUS are currently touring across Europe to promote their latest studio album “Aphelion”, which has recently received a special ‘Tour Edition’ re-launch via InsideOutMusic.
To further enhance this release, LEPROUS drummer Baard Kolstad has now checked in with a special drum play through video clip for the song “Have You Ever?” filmed/recorded with Stamos Koliousis and edited by Fredrik Schumacher.

LEPROUS’ drummer Baard Kolstad checked in with the following comment while on the road:
“It was about time to release a couple of new full drum playthroughs of some newer LEPROUS songs, and here is the first out of 3 songs I picked! This is for the track “Have You Ever?”, maybe an unexpected pick to some, but we are also doing this track as opening song for the current set of our ongoing European tour. It has a special kind of LEPROUS intensity, with more broken up beats and breaks than usual. Can’t wait for all entertaining reaction videos to come in the future! And come see us on tour…”
The “Aphelion (Tour Edition)” release is available both as limited 2CD Digipak and as Digital album (2CD) featuring the original “Aphelion” album, its two initial bonus-tracks as well as a separate, brand-new live bonus disc of 6 tracks/40 min. recorded this year during the first leg of the “Aphelion” touring campaign at Motocultor Festival in France and in Berlin, Germany.
