Leprous vocalist and keyboardist Einar Solberg checked in with the following comment about the upcoming album: «Pitfall is the album no-one is expecting from Leprous. When you think you know where it’s headed, you’ll realize that you’re wrong. It’s not only by far the biggest production and musical departure we’ve done, but the album is also the most personal and honest so far. The album has been written through one of my toughest years, where I struggled with depression and anxiety. No filters, no metaphors, just the truth. They say that writing music is therapeutic! I would say that it’s an understatement! For me Pitfalls is the result of 1,5 years of learning how to get through the dark tunnel. The music has been my torch».
