Lepra are a band from Sweden that plays a melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 ep "Mortuus Morgana" which will be released on July 14th by Black Seed Productions.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.
Elements of death metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the music is also very heavily rooted in the mid 90's Swedish style. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody, acoustic guitars can also be heard at times. and tremolo picking is also added into some of the faster riffing as well as some synths also being used briefly on an instrumental.
Lepra plays a musical style that goes back to the mid 90's styles of Swedish black and death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Lepra are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Where Despair Had Made It's Home" and "Endless Crimson Dawn". 8 out of 10.
