This single song is worth the ticket price, gas, energy, waiting in line and dealing with people. Perfect song and such an epic experience to feel this song live!

One song to rule them all. This piece of music is perfectly complete.

This is hands down the gnarliest way to end a song. Unbelievable power.

One of the most epic breakdowns of all time. It transcends genre.

My heart is pumping in 11/4. This whole performance was a visual and sonic masterpiece. The outro was intensely violent and chaotically beautiful. Geezus that was good

Leprous is one of the few bands that are even better live. What a performance from the whole band.

6:22 another china miss, the ultimate ghost note

This is more than just a song. It's an incredibly great masterpiece.

Finally saw this song live. Exceeded my already completely top level expectations. Part of me wonders if the band set out to make the ultimate set closer. I don't know what could follow this, even from their own catalogue. Nothing says, "the show is over, you're welcome" quite like the close to this song.

The fact that this wasn't at the tippity top of my feed the second it came out is proof of how bad YT's algorithms are. I've only watched Baard's playthrough and several live phone videos of this song like 50 times, it's whatever.

Son: Dad, why is my sister's name Rose? Dad: Because your Mother loves roses. Son: Thanks, Dad. Dad: No problem, LEPROUS - The Sky Is Red (Live Video 2020)

I have been waiting for a quality live video of this song. This track is the reason why I can't wait to see Leprous live one day. Einar's vocal distortion in this version is fantastic. So is Baard's incredibly precise drumming. Heck, the whole band is killing it!

Heaviest outro of the universe.

Seeing Mirage/The Sky is Red back to back in London was incredible. Shakes your foundations like nothing i've ever experienced!

The person doing the lights gets clearly not enough credits for this epic show

5:38 that big smile is exactly how I feel about the solo too!

6:25 Baard learned nothing from the drum playthrough apparently. Still got that china all the way out of reach

That guitar solo at 5:07 - 5:43 is incredibly tight. Doesn't quite unleash into all-out shredding but it doesn't need to. The restraint serves the melody so well and sets the song up for the epic outro.

Having experienced this live, I can say this was the most violent thing that ever happened to me. God that editing in the last part. This is how it felt to be in the audience for that song! Amazing

First time I saw them play this live, I didn't know the song - but it has such an insane tension and atmosphere that I remember just standing there transfixed and in awe. Kudos to the lighting designer, too - that outro with the spooky "siren" and perfectly timed lighting is utterly hypnotising.

There is a sandstorm passing where I live and the sky is literally red. The song is oddly quite fitting. What an amazing performance by the whole band.

Everytime I listen to this song, I get speechless at the final part!!! It's just something else completely

There's no way to prepare yourself for something this good, so just ENJOY.

That outro is the heaviest thing ever created

Went to see Monuments yesterday at Shepherds Bush Empire having never heard any of Leprous' music. The band absolutely blew me away but this song? Holy. The outro is my favourite endings to a song of all time. What an amazing track all around!

can't stop listening to this song...the drums...the melody...the guitar work...and those beautiful...stretching...euphoric vocals...i'm in love...i live for moments like this... x

I am was NOT ready to share Leprous with my friends, untill this track. Pitfalls is so special. :')

I finally saw this live and I am so grateful to see Leprous performance. What an absolute unit of a band.

Just when you thought Pitfalls was over this track brings a massive, thunderous storm and blows your mind. EPIC!!!!!

Probably the best live recording and performance of a song I’ve ever watched.

duuude einar sounds even more powerful on this live... all of them actually

I was just watching this video again for I don't know which time. I've lost count. Mad, mad props to the lighting engineer for bringing an absolute masterpiece of a song and an impeccable performance come to life like this. If I were watching this live from the audience, I'd have been terrified and in awe at the same time.

This guys played this at the end of their set for Mexico Metal Fest. I've heard plenty of Leprous songs, but not this one. This song is now imbued into my eardrums and their performance into my retina. It was around 2pm, grey skies with constant raining and then this outro starts to kick in. For me one of the most powerful musical and sensory experiences I've had

Maybe the ULTIMATE closer. Ended the Seattle show last night and it blew the doors off. Incredible.

Leprous is able to make any song of theirs sound better live

Everyone in the band head banging all at different time? Must be a Leprous concert.

It's a masterpiece in terms of both performance and mix.

Wow. I am completely unsurprised by how good this is, but wow. Despite expecting it, I'm floored. Epic.

When you stop to consider there are people in the crowd experiencing this song and even band for the first time LIVE makes me envious.

Still can't believe I was there to witness this live. Thank you so much for this. This song is insanely perfect

The best song of the album for sure !

Hands down this is the most beautiful and stunning music i’ve heard in a very long time.

Seeing this live was eye opening The end build up sends palpitations through you

When i think about end of the universe, this outro comes to mind.

Seeing this song live in Bucharest in February was the best moment I've had in 2020 so far. Thank you! If you're reading this and didn't see them live, then make this a goal in your life.

Saw them at an old church turned into a venue a few years ago on good Friday. It was the close to God I have ever been. The Dear Hunter opened and BTBAM closed and Jesus arose 3 days later

Please please please please Give us a live DVD for that concert. I'd pay so much for this. Also I need " at the bottom" live in good quality.!!!!

Jesus … most technical drummer I’ve ever heard … the tempos and ghost notes are just insane … creativity at it’s best!!!!

Just here for the drummer. Let’s give this guy some credit, he phenomenal.

I wish I could’ve been in that stage during the outro....it’s breathtaking

I had an LSD experience about a month back and it was a "bad" trip. This song was playing as I was confronting my PTSD from prolonged isolation due to 3 and a half years of severe autoimmune disease and it was as if this was holding me together. I remember thinking that the whole time of my autoimmunity I should've at least been therapy because of the trauma I had endured and then as soon as 6:46 started I said to myself, "Oh... This is therapy..." It was a dark subtle truth that hit much softer than I thought. But gratefully I've since healed about half a year ago. Confronting trauma is no joking matter and I'm grateful for Leprous making the music they've created. It's been my wire nonetheless. Thank You.

I've listened to this album so many times. But I had to go listen to the end of the studio track again to verify that they indeed do that breakdown at the end. It's so much heavier live that I forgot about it.

D A T S N A R E

11:04 This person gets my full respects

this song was way better without forced ads in the middle of it

so unbelievably powerful. i cried at the sky is red but as soon as i heard einar scream “red” in the live version i just exploded in tears and even now i cant listen to it without tearing up. its the same song, but the difference is just night and day

Everything is so impeccable that I'm finding it really hard to believe this is live!

bloody hell, this is even better then the album version!

Ughhh :'( This song, everything about it - it touches something in my heart. Almost like it's the soundtrack to my most painful thoughts, only, I haven't thought them yet. Absolutely incredible what Leprous manages to accomplish. Harmonically, rhythmically, visually, performance - bloody incredible.

This is the track that has finally sold me on Leprous (though I'd only heard a couple of songs prior.) Listened to it about 10 times in the past 48 hours and it just keeps blowing my mind.

They managed to make the outro even more epic holy shit! Now I wished the studio version was so heavy too

That outro reminds me so much of Swans. Leprous is just on another level when it comes to life performances, absolute masterpiece.

I miss seeing these guys live :( they never ever disappoint

Can we also mention the lights department? What an amazing job!

I just listened to this live and I'm walking out of the venue. Trust me, it's MASSIVE. Go see these guys as soon as you can! 🤯

That ending is to die for. Literally. I would die to this song in the pit. After the show just toss me in the dumpster. \m/

I regret buying an air conditioner recently. Watching this gives me the required chills.

It sucks that I just found these guys during the covid19 pandemic because now I really want to see them live..

Terrific performance. Also whoever did sound... :chefs kiss:

The light show is incredible, what an experience! They made such a great choice going with Adam Noble to mix Pitfalls. What he did on the album version of this was so unique and so different to how most of the metal scene would have mixed it, and it's clearly translating to how they approach their live sound too with the distorted ringy snare in the outro etc mixed with their choice of cleaner guitar tones in moments where others would go straight for high gain. A truly progressive band doing something original

Progressive rock it’s very best. A fantastic example of modern Prog that showcases the brilliant drummer Baard Kolstad. showcase the brilliant Baard Kolstad.

This song live blew me away last year. The last part...so intense, so heavy. Absolutely incredible, I'm getting goosebumbs all over...again!

I love this band so much! Leprous, Agent Fresco and Port Noir are absolutely perfection! \m/

Saw them tonight. The last section of the song is NUTS

One of the best progressive tunes ever written. Love you boys

Gotta see them live

Finally good quality LIVE video of this song! Thank YOU!

This is not a song, this is a journey

okay Baard Kolstad is one of the greatest drummers of all time

LIVE @ LISBOA, PORTUGAL, and i was right at the back in absolute ecstasy!! THIS WAS THE SONG I WAS WAITING ALL ALONG. MASTERPIECE!

This is more than a song - it’s a life experience. (And then YT throws an ad right into the middle of it and completely blows the vibe!)

Finally a good quality live version! I didn't get this song at first having heard only studio version. Solid song, but I didn't understand this a bit too long ending that felt like it was part of something else. But after experiencing (key word since you cannot see it, hear it of feel it but one must experience it) this performed live I totally get it. Usually after any good gig you think they could play this or that song but you just go on with your life. But when they were closing gig in Krakow with this gem, loosing their sh*t with choreographed-like headbanging I remember wishing they will continue for at least half an... forever

This is the anthem for 2020.

Absolutely worth it bumpig my head on one of those videographers!

Hearing this song on the album was amazing to begin with, but seeing it live was absolutely mind-boggling. I love the aggression in Einar's voice and the way he seems to want to outrun the instruments. I remember, after the outro finished and all that was left was the cello and the choir, I felt like I was suspended in mid-air, floating, wondering whether this has truly just happened. Never experienced something like this on any other concert I've been to.

Mr Joao Filipe you have done an incredible job matching the musical drama of that second passage with your visuals !! well done sir!!

How does his voice sound even better live than on a mixed and mastered studio recording? This band isn't next level, this band is 4 levels passed that. Unreal musicianship.

That ending is like an engine from some other universe. Even too weird for Meshugah!

I LOVE the solo. Sounds better even than the album version

The Pitfalls tour show was one of the best shows I have ever witnessed.

Good freakin Lord. What a voice!

Todo, la composición, interpretación, ejecución, la parte técnica de luces, de audio pff... el vídeo, el público tan respetuoso y que se controla para no gritar de emoción durante toda esa explosión de sonido... los he de ver en vivo

These guys are incredibly live!!!!

My favorite album from 2019. So glad I found this band a few years back.

5:25 Unbelieveable how much juice Baard brings to that part with that crazy fill and that flying ride pattern after - I always want to rush up the next highest mountain when I listen to it ;)

amazing, and that drummer is outstanding!

it sure was. Edit: You know what I came here after searching for red sky videos from yesterday. And i thought wouldn't it be funny to make a red sky joke - and after listening to the drum playthrough of this song I am now a fan. Never heard of these guys before but I love prog stuff especially tesseract. These guys are amazing. You just gained a fan and it was because your song came true. Woo hoo!

4:42 am while hearing this. I think I just became a feral dark entity. This is the most amazing thing I've watched and listen in a WHILE.

Looking through their discography, it blows my mind how we got from Silent Water to Aeolia, than Tall Poppy Syndrome and Bilateral, then Coal and The Congregations, Malina, than Pitfalls and Aphelion. The diversity is MADDENING NUTS! I love this song though I can't help but crave more of the wackiness of SW, Aeolia, TPS, and Bilateral, especially with Einar's keys. Some of the weirdest but ear catching sounds I've ever heard were produced in that era of Leprous LMAO. Still, long live Leprous, absolutely love this live show! Let this band show off for many more years!

Seeing these guys live in Zwolle on 2-november 2019 was the last concert i went too before covid hit, but damn....They played this as the 2nd song of their encore and it was AWESOME. A prelude of the year 2020.
