Norway's Leprous will release their fifth studio album, Malina, on August 25th via InsideOut Music. Malina will be available as Jewelcase CD and Digital Download, but also as limited edition Mediabook CD (with extended booklet and the bonus-track "Root") and as Gatefold 2LP on 180gr. vinyl (with a poster, the bonus-track "Root" and the entire album on CD). Pre-order the new album here.

The album's new single "Illuminate" is released today in a video shot in Romania and directed by Costin Chioreanu / Twilight 13 Media. Watch the clip below or stream the single on Spotify.

The band commented on the track as follows: “‘Illuminate’ is one of the most groovy songs we've ever made! It's the Leprous people know, but in a fresh version. The abstract and dark video from Costin underlines the atmosphere of the song perfectly."

Following a hugely successful European tour as support to label-mates Devin Townsend Project earlier this year, Leprous wrapped up the work on Malina with producer David Castillo at Ghost Ward Studio in Sweden, while mixing duties were once again taken care of by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. The album's artwork was designed by Corey Meyers.
