It was so awesome to come across this today - thanks so much for this video and for your kind words about the song! I'm the cellist from Leprous btw :)

Leprous just posted this reaction on their insta page.

Another vote for 'The Sky Is Red' here. Just an amazing song that you've got to hear! Especially the live video they released.

The sky is red by Leprous really shows their skill and diversity with their songs, I can't recommend this song enough.

By reading the comments it looks like the prog community has fallen in love with your channel geebez

Leprous live was a revelation. Their drummer is legimately one of the best in the world. They also had a live cellist, or at least did when I saw them with Haken a couple of years ago.

If you like this one of theirs, youll love Bonneville, Distant Bells, and The Sky is Red!

The Sky Is Red from Leprous would blow your mind Other songs: Slave, Third Law, Contaminate Me specifically the live versions from their Live @ Rockefeller Music Hall DVD My personal favorite is called Rewind.

I love this song so much 🥵 The Sky is Red is the obvious “single” off the album and it’s some of the most impressive 11 minutes I’ve heard a band perform before, but this song is soooo damn good man

A Leprous song! Finally woohoo

Leprous best songs to react: The Price Forced Entry The Valley The Sky Is Red

Leprous is incredible! cant wait for this, PLEASE check out The Sky is Red from the same album. just INSANE

Damn. Leprous and Katatonia in one day? This is my reaction channel of choice. Excellent work for you and this community you're building!

Leprous - Contaminate Me live is a good one to check out. It features Ihsahn from the band Emperor.

I'm partial to a song of theirs, that doesn't seem to ever get requested, called Mirage. Maybe Pelican will make an appearance one day too. 😃

The first time I heard Einar's voice I felt the same goosebumps that I felt when I heard Jeff Buckley for the first time. Goddamn what a voice.

mixing electronics/synths (let alone a freakin trap beat) with a metal song is so hard to do right, and these guys make it sound organic & effortless...so glad you featured this band, I'll be taking a deep dive for sure

Leprous is in my top 3 along with Haken and Caligula's Horse. Cant go wrong with any of those three.

I keep being shocked every time the feel changes... lol. I really like it. I love listening to bands that make me think about their creative process, and their influences. This one was a "wtf did i just hear" for me! Gotta get into more.

Leprous is probably the prog band who's sound will never get old to me, on a league of their own. And their last album was absolutely exquisite tbh.

I am stoked to finally see Leprous on your channel! Please, do more songs from them! They have so much great stuff, here are a few suggestions: "Below", "From the Flame", "The Sky is Red", "Alleviate", "Illumintate", "The Weight of Disaster". Also, "Slave" (Live At Rockefeller Music Hall) is just phenomenal.

I would like to echo the comment sections suggestions of "The Sky is Red" but also put in a suggestion for "Slave" live at Rockefeller Music Hall. This live performance is according to me even better than the album version because it has just as good of a mix as the studio album but, this live performance was an anniversary for the band so they brought on some old members from the band, and when they played "Slave" at this concert they had a past drummer come on and two drums really adds a lot of the ambiance. The song also shows a bit more of the range that Einar (vocals and keyboards) has. Both of these songs also show of their drummer Baard very well and i think his skill is one of the most outstanding things with this band. On a sidenote on compositions with surprises you also did Ne Obliviscaris(Australians) that have a violinist as main part of the band

Baard Kolstad is one of those inhuman drummers. litrally know nothing about drums but ive watched that man play for hours now

You’ve got a great listener base if they’ve led to you this gem. Highly recommend “Distant Bells” for another Leprous song with this vibe. I also really want to recommend “Sky Machine” by Karnivool for the same kind of transcendent experience.

Yes yes yessss. Loving it so much! Caligulas Horse, Sleep Token, and Tesseract are all I'm dying to see left at this point, the rest will just be icing :D

Hello. The Dillinger escape plan please. Widower maybe, or limerent death They do cool stuff

I've seen Leprous live and I can tell you, that is not studio magic. Einar is just that breathtaking on vocals!!

Forced Entry. You'll have your "hands" full with it. And it's just a damn good song.

This album is audiophile pornography.

I started off on your channel because of TOOL. I am so blessed being able to take this journey with you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I love hearing new music. This is not a "reaction" channel. I like to think of it as a "discovery and education" channel. ❤

I think it's time for you to be introduced to Mr. Mike Patton

Another great band no one’s ever heard of is Rishloo. Check out “Dark Charade.” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ncp2oquVpq-zgXk.html

Leprous, finally! In addition to good recommendations, should check out "the valley", "the weight of disaster" and "red". Also, couldn't see any of SOEN song in the channel. "Pluton" or "Martyrs" would be cool introduction. Nice reacts !

Everyone here requesting The Sky is Red, but i think "Distant Bells" or basically every song on "Pitfalls" would be worth its own discussion. This album is phenomenal

This man's like/dislike ratio is the envy of most KZfaqrs

Please react to The Sky is Red by Leprous. They have one of my favorite contemporary drummers and I think that track really showcases his creativity.

Don't know if you'll read this. I hope you will react to a song from Intronaut at some point. Very talented musicians that are still very unrecognized with respect to their talent. Bit of metal, bit of jazz, and definitely experimental. If you do, best starting songs in my opinion would be Fast Worms, Sore Sight for Eyes, and Procurement of the Victuals/Cubensis. Great choices of songs to react to so far. Keep up the great work!

You should react to Borknagar - up north. Btw i love watching these videos, it gives me more insight for my album I'm working on

One of the most awe inspiring live bands in the business to boot. They nail everything with jaw dropping precision

PLEASE DO Opeth: Windowpane or In my time of need. They are of the more "acoustic" side of Opeth... Very beutiful and fantastic songs!

Since your doing bands you haven’t done yet you gotta listen to Between The Buried And Me. I recommend the song Extremophile Elite.

..."I play enough just to make myself dangerous." Nice. I like it. Badass.

WOW 😲 That is a fantastic track and that voice 🤯

New album came out, would make my day to see your coverage on the fresh material

You should listen to "Celestial Violence" by Ihsahn, the frontman of Leprous is doing an amazing job on vocals in that song!

The strings on this album were arranged by Chris Baum who plays violin with a great band called Bent Knee. I'd love to see you react to them, they're criminally underrated, quite different from most current prog bands, and their vocalist is jaw-droppingly talented. I think you'd find the song Way Too Long an interesting one to analyse!

The sky is red: 11:11 duration song is in 11/8 last note is played at 11 minutes

More Leprous songs, once you learn more for them it will be another tool thing for you. From any album.

Now try and listen to Forced Entry XDD it sounds like a totally different band

My favourite part is when you noticed the cello. Can't wait to see them live today for the first time.

OMG more Leprous please! They're unbelievable. The last three albums they did are among my favorite albums ever. There's a 6-day live-stream going right now where we can see them writing a new song. All the band members know music theory really well, and they really write together, it's beautiful to see.

Always happy to come here and find a new artist to add to the list. This reminds me of Muse, and that bass guitar tone is wonderful.

Yes more Leprous! They offer a very wide range of amazing music.

Please Leprous - Slave Live at Rockefeller Music Hall!

Leprous live at Rockefeller. Excellent performance!

I’m loving the amount of stoppage. It feels like a good amount. You’re able to share more and it’s awesome to hear someone else’s perspective! Thanks for sharing!

Aw hey, this is awesome! Thank you so much for these, can’t wait to see some others!

i would to see you react to The Dear Hunter, specifically Regress + The Moon/Awake. technically two songs but the transition is seamless and they're both GORGEOUS

Well, that was intense Really enjoying your breakdowns of Leprous, looking forward to more

I just wanted to thank you man. I love this band, the way you approach music has made me listen to these guys and other bands and just enjoyed them for every part without focusing on certain aspects too much. Thanks for boosting my love for music even more. You're a legend!

You‘re quickly becoming my favorite person to react to my favorite music. Leprous is awesome to dive in. I’d recommend „The Sky Is Red“ or „Bonneville“ next. I’d also like to recommend Agent Fresco from Iceland, who are good friends with Leprous and are often compared with them. They are on the same level for me, just a tad more accessible. Check out „Dark Water“ or „Howls“. Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing!

I'm so glad I discovered Leprous recently, because for one, I am more able than ever, as my musical understanding has grown, to fully appreciate all this magnificent band has to offer; but mainly cause I get to find videos I didn't see from my favorite music analyst and reviewer (Aloha!) and listen along to these masterpieces. What other gems didn't click upon? *excited*

Stumbled upon you on the Leprous instagram. Best reaction channel i have seen. Subbed

Please do more of them. They are AMAZING!

Just discovered your channel and I really enjoy your videos (have just watched the ones about "Toxicity" and "Forty Six & 2"). It's great seeing you not only analyzing the music, but also being emotionally moved by it (I discovered Leprous in 2019 and love most of their stuff, although most of their albums are quite different from each other stylistically).

I’m so glad you enjoy leprous can’t wait to see more reactions!

This was the reaction I was waiting for. Leprous is amazing!

What a beautiful video and channel. Actual analysis and earnest love for music, not passive ”reaction video”. I appreciate you a lot man. Forced Entry is classic early Leprous. Very reverred in the fandom as a highlight of their discography.

Awesome react! Leprous are quickly becoming one of my fav bands! They have other amazing songs like acquired taste, the sky is red, mirage, slave or castaway angels (their new single). Thank you so much man keep up those amazing react videos 🤘🏼

Love this band. Saw them twice this year. Love how they don't go into the chorus the same way twice. Einars voice is amazing. All the musicians are great but Baards drumming shines!

A perfect circle - The noose 🤙🏻

Dude, I love your channel. You listen to music in the way very much like I do, except I have no real music knowledge/education. Keep going man! Digging it!

I've only really listened to Slave but holy crap I'm glad the fans recommended this song instead!

I enjoy your reaction videos, and was thrilled to see you were doing Leprous. A lot of good new suggestions for another Leprous song, but let's not forget Acquired Taste... the live at Rockefeller version is mwah! Slave was the first Leprous song i heard, also completely awesome live.

Expanding my musical knowledge and experience with Geebz. My grandmother immigrated from Sweden, so it's almost like connecting with my heritage on this one. Really enjoyed it!

Literally just heard this band for the first time. In fact, I was watching a drummer covering The Sky Is Red on KZfaq which was fantastic so I thought Geebz must have done these guys and hey presto! I will definitely be tuning into more of their stuff. 👍🏼

Amazing as ever! Just had a crash course through most of your videos!! Surprised that as such a Tool fan you've yet to touch on "Right In Two" possibly my favourite track. Keep up the awesome reviews dude!

one of the best "reaction" videos, I've listened to. tons of interesting and valuable info here.

Thanks Geebz now I have to buy another vinyl. Great stuff, I'm blown away. Can't wait to turn off all the lights and spin this record. Thanks man.

One of my favorite bands! Fell in love with them first time I saw them live. Amazing live show! So many different sounding songs to choose from....heavy to soft and everything in between

"Audace - Retour" is one of my absolute favorite songs, it'd be amazing to see you "de-compose" it! Somehow a song that really puts a smile on my face. Thanks for all the content man!

I've been following and loving how you're growing your channel. I would also love to see you breakdown something a little different (from a songwriting and arrangement pov) than you've done with something from Mechina. "Cryoshock" or "Realm Breaker" would be amazing. Thanks for all that you do!

The Sky is Red Drum Cam!!!!! Very cool channel Geebz!!!

So many great Leprous songs! Where to begin? "The Sky is Red" is pretty unique, it's captures the claustrophobic desperation of mental illness so incredibly well.

"Leprous" is an English word just so you know i.e. "a sufferer of leprosy", one of my favorite diseases

you've rekindled my love for Leprous today, haven't listened to them in a while

Never heard. This was great! Will have to give their albums a spin now. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome band, they are very unique. Really loved your comments and reaction!

I've been following your channel, and wondered when I would see Leprous on here. Amazing band. Even better live. Any track off of Coal would be a great reaction.

What a great song. Gonna check the group!

Greetings from Norway here!🇳🇴 So glad to see this react! Leprous is an AMAZING band, and there is a huge rabbithole for you to dive into. I have seen them live seven times, and they leave me in awe every time! Check out Slave live from Rockefeller🥳 Anyway; this was a joy to watch!

God, you quickly putting down you pen at 2:16 after he sang that part gave me a good laugh.

That gorgeous cello you hear is the fantastic Raphael Weinroth-Browne! His Worlds Within album is the best of modern classical prog (if that is a thing). :)

Pitfalls is a true masterpiece, can listen to it start to finish and never get bored.

The singer/keyboardist’s brother-in-law is a god of Black Metal (Isahn) and Leprous is Isahn’s live touring band. Very versatile musicians.

I ADORE this Song! ❤

Leprous is a band I've never really listened to but have had people suggest them to me. They sound great, thanks for the proper into to them.

THE SKY IS RED PLEASE!!! ITLL BLOW YOUR MIND

I too have never heard this. Doing a deeper dive this evening. Aloha, Geebz!

In case nobody said it: Yes, the cellist is part of the band and goes touring with em! Raphael Weinroth-Browne - Look him up, true legend and so, so humble! I was lucky enough to meet him on tour in germany!
