Norwegian prog metallers LEPROUS are about to start a massive European touring string covering a total of 23 (!) countries in support of their newest studio album "The Congregation", which was released worldwide via InsideOutMusic in May.

The band has checked in with the following comment about the upcoming tour:

"...feeling the excitement building up here, in the Leprous camp. For many months we've been working very hard in order to take our live show up one level! We're almost there now, and we hope that you will like the result! It's our largest and most ambitious tour-production so far, and can't wait to get out there to show it to everyone!

Yes, it has been a lot of work the last months, to make everything perfect, but we now we're almost ready and also quite proud to show Europe the next level of Leprous".
