Leprous "Aeolia (Demo)"

Leprous is a Norwegian rock band from Notodden, formed in 2001. The group was founded by singer and keyboardist Einar Solberg and guitarist Tor Oddmund Suhrke.

Aeolia is a demo CD released in 2006, and the first full-length demo recorded by the Norwegian progressive metal band, Leprous. It was recorded and mixed at Symfonique and Juke Joint Studio by Mnemosyne. Art Design by Bjørn Tore Moen. Although a self-released demo, it is occasionally regarded as the band's first full-length album due to the running time being longer than that of most other Leprous recordings.
