The vocal improvement of Einar on the present live performances is unbelievable. Back to these days it was hard to keep the high notes etc but at the last tour he was incredible! Anyway musically he is always a genius!
i think he had some sort of vocal problem specifically around 2013.. you can look for versions of Restless for example from 2011 and it's absolutely badass, then more recently they played it again, it was awesome
I saw them last year (2023) in Bs. As. and the entire band sounded like a more finely tuned Queen. If that's even possible. They're on the best shape EVER.
They've always put on an incredible show! However, this isn't really representative of their current live sound anymore. I saw them live twice in the past year and they are damn near perfect. They've tightened up a bunch, and Einar's vocals are much more controlled and natural.
Indeed. It is amazing how tight they sound now. One of the best live bands in the scene right now, saw them 4 times last year, and every show was mindblowing.
Einar improved his control but helped himself by staying away from harsher vocals saving his range cause he uses so much falsetto. And not to mention 3/5ths of the band is different now since they switched with ihshans band..they tightened their playing a bunch. But i will say 100% einar should never do ihsahns vocal parts..
Oh my goodness Einar sounds so rough, I wonder whether he had a cold at the time. I saw them in 2017 and he was fucking amazing, although his growls were kinda buried in the mix then.
So if you didn't know, his voice was fucked up around this time. Ya know in the studio versions of Restless, Forced Entry, and Mb. Indifferentia where he did those distorted high notes? They ended up fucking up his voice and he doesn't do them anymore due to that.
@@vesuvius115 it's curious to note he's never learned something like fry for his distorted high notes, I wonder why he wants to avoid such a popular technique
@@SammyMakepeace Who knows, maybe he tried at one point and couldn't figure it out? I know some people have techniques they're better at using than others. I mean his newer screams sound a lot better too, ever since they recorded the congregation.
Danke an Wacken fürs Hochladen dieses (damals) Rohdiamanten (heute geschliffener Diamant). Die Herren waren ja damals (und im selben Jahr) die Live-Band von Ihsahn... daher wage ich mal die Hoffnung zu äußern, dass ihr vielleicht auch noch den Ihsahn-Gig von 2013 hochladet (gerne auch den von 2010). Es wäre traumhaft.
I saw them live 2 weeks ago and he absolutely nailed the whole song. As some other comments here say, the improvement is unbelievable and he sounds amazing throughout the entire concert nowadays
@@dariepetcu2840 Oh wow ok, I guess he practiced his black metal vocals, and got better at it, that's great to hear! I'd love to see Leprous if they ever go near my place in Europe. I saw Leprous in 2017, however they did not play this song on that show.
@@lopolikapparently his voice was just messed up as previously mentionned. If you take a look at later songs like The Architect (By haken), Rewind and Slave on the congregration, and a live of Celestial violence as some examples, you'll see his screams are genuinely mental
@nathminerhaven2097 oh yeah totally agreed, his screams on the architect from Haken are one of my favorites from Einar other than the early Leprous stuff of course. He's great, and the high note falsetto he does is pretty impressive as well.
Leprous is absolutely one of my favourites at this moment! The singer´s voice is totally amazing and very unique! I was so blown away when I heard Leprous for the first time a couple of weeks ago! Such a shame how crowd reacts after the first song. Singer shouts "WACKEN!!!!" Feedback from the crowd: totally silence... Maybe Leprous is too artsy for this kind of festival I think. Totally amazing band in my opinion! Extra points goes to guitarist for the Telecaster!
I love Leprous, but this mix and audio quality makes the performance mediocre at best. I'm sure it was awesome live, but whoever mixed this from Wacken needs to be shot
@@rot_studios my guess is that they didn’t have decent recordings of the instruments because no one in their right mind would release it like this if they didn’t have to.
Leprous is my favourite band, but I've got to be honest: This was not a good night for Einar, in my opinion, so I kind of have to agree with you. I absolutely love his singing voice, but his harsh vocals have never worked for me at the best of times. I'm glad he's phased out the harsh vocals; it's made for much better live performances. The set wasn't all bad though. Foe, Valley, and Chronic stood out as being quite good.
@@MoonJellyGames To be fair, these were his old harshes not to add around this time he was having vocal problems due to the distorted high notes that you hear at the end of the studio version of Forced Entry, the vocal rush in Restless, and the climax to Mb. Indifferentia. He changed his screaming style with The Congregation and it sounds much better. It's also why you don't hear those distorted notes in any of the newer live tracks with the three mentioned songs. Any other live shows you see from that year and he sounds a ton better ngl. Tbh, even his cleans didn't hold up too well with this show and I wonder if he was sick as well because he didn't look like he felt too good. Either way, any other leprous show and he does a ton better live, old or new.
@vesgaming115 My comment was from four years ago! And I'm a little surprised that I responded to such a rude comment (all thumbs down) by saying that I agree! I stand by my comment, but I shouldn't have done it as a reply to that person. Oh well. I never heard that Einar had vocal problems during the Bilateral recordings. That's nuts! Those songs (and moments you mentioned) are some of my absolute favourites from any band ever.

He kinda lacked a lot of energy in Hannover at least. Still a great vocalist.
And also the armony in the voice with the others members, I've seen them live the last Saturday, and that armony between them is beautiful
@@miguelangelquinteropineros656 yeah, saw them live last week and the vocal harmonies were perfect.
i think he had some sort of vocal problem specifically around 2013.. you can look for versions of Restless for example from 2011 and it's absolutely badass, then more recently they played it again, it was awesome

Love this band since 2011... This old drummer was good, but Baard is a fucking legend....
This old drummer is at least comparable to Baard
They've always put on an incredible show! However, this isn't really representative of their current live sound anymore. I saw them live twice in the past year and they are damn near perfect. They've tightened up a bunch, and Einar's vocals are much more controlled and natural.

Totally agree! Einar's vocal now have grown up a lot!

Indeed, I didn't really like how Contaminate Me sounded here
What a surprising upload. Hoped for this 6 years ago :D
Same lol
leprous for 2019 please!!!!
Absolutely brilliant band. How much they have improved in 6 years is unbelievable - this looks a little like a highschool performance D:
Nice Upload Wacken, one of the most promissing bands coming from the Norwegian Underground.
pretty rough. love this band. it’s amazing how much they’ve improved since this
They're nearly perfection nowadays!!
Holy shit, the evolution is amazing, you guys are really going for perfection
27:55 my mans looks straight up terrified
Oh my goodness Einar sounds so rough, I wonder whether he had a cold at the time. I saw them in 2017 and he was fucking amazing, although his growls were kinda buried in the mix then.
I think he had vocal lessons because he sings soo good now live and different

Einar's growls were really not what they are today... and that's a good thing! Improvement is key
Thank youuuuuu!!! 😭❤️

Awesome! my favorite band from Norway :)
La mejor presentación de Leprous que he visto.
Some video of Katatonia in 2017? Please Wacken
Einar estaba que se moría cantando Contaminate Me. xD
También lo vi! Pobre! Pero ha mejorado muchisimo!
Pobre Einar, se le nota bastante nervioso. Hoy en día es otro, su presencia escénica es tremenda como la de todos los demás miembros.
Contaminate me needs ihshan to complete it.
Einar cannot do the black metal shrieks in Contaminate me like Ihsahn. that screaming part is really hard.
I saw them live 2 weeks ago and he absolutely nailed the whole song. As some other comments here say, the improvement is unbelievable and he sounds amazing throughout the entire concert nowadays

@@lopolikapparently the distorted highs he was doing at this time destroyed his voice, which is why it sounded so rough here.

Contaminate Me without Ihsahn and 2nd drummer sounds... Megh...
Well it's not like Ihsahn is just gonna follow them around for a couple songs
True, but it's weird that it's on the setlist. I'd rather this be a special treat for the live shows with Ihsahn than them play a partial version.
51:57 When I'm washing the dishes and accidentally touch the wet food in the sink drain
Lmfao
He surely improved his vocals a LOT
Ishan sang it better@@weerman44
bro im dying 🤣🤣☠☠☠☠☠
Einar sang so good, especially in Foe and Forced Entry, but that Contaminate Me was painful to watch/hear.
Restless was even worse
Yeah.... yikes.
His vocals have definitely come FAR. The Rockefeller show is a prime example of that
Went to see a half-assed preformance from Motörhead instead of this, few things I regret more.
Let Ihsahn to sing contaminate me, Don't make me wrong Einar is out of this world, but you have to listen the this song with
Ihsahn
Exact , if i wrote the setlist i was replaced it with down .

All Wacken mixes of live bands I've heard so far were shit. I think they just don't bother lol
@@rot_studios my guess is that they didn’t have decent recordings of the instruments because no one in their right mind would release it like this if they didn’t have to.
Showzaço! 👏🏻🤘🏻💀🎸🎼🇧🇷
Amazing
Half the band have changed since then :D
Leprous have developed quantum leaps! The band pr 2021 can almost be described at Tool with an even better drummer!
Can't download this file,it gives a mistake,help!
Supported by Zara?
Thank you 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Is it possible that theres a guitar track missing?
Einar was great there but he is now a GOD
He was okay, his screams were god awful though
What's with all the ads during the tunes?
too much band for most people in attendance
Welp, they've certainly come a long way
Leprous здорового человека
gold upload
Einar bien muerto en Contaminate me ☠️☠️
15:27 te amo paisana jajajaj
#LEPROUS 🤘🤘🏻🤘🏿🤘🏼🤘🏽🤘🏾
Prefiro o einar na epoca de ouro do emperor ❤
Leprous is awesome, but it's still wacky to see a dude playing metal on a tele
38:51 Hello bassist :D
If I was Leprous I would play Aeolia album always
lol
Very hard...
Einar, call me
Contaminate Me much better with Ihsahn tho
16:21, lol, voices went down to fuck
I was skeptical then i saw the thumb ring on the guitarist and knew this wasn't my band.
this is the old shitty guitarist they got rid of, check out their more recent performances they are much better now and their guitarist is quite good!
Shit
I love Leprous, but this sucks. Einar is awful here and most of the pre-coal era songs are just cacophonous.
Love the "early" Leprous & Haken stuff as much as hate the direction they have "evolved" in their later albums.
I agreed with this until Haken released Virus last year. Phenomenonal album. New Leprous though, the less said the better...
Eh, new leprous is about as entertaining as TOOL but they got some good songs in therr
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
i can only thumb down your comment once, sorry, but maybe others will help
