The Ultimate Night of Music: Nordic Giants and Leprous Concert Review
Last night, music venue Rock City Nottingham was “rocking” with excitement as Leprous took centre stage, supported by the awe-inspiring Nordic Giants. Regrettably, logistical hiccups prevented Fight the Fight from joining the lineup, though they did make a brief appearance to extend their apologies. Nevertheless, the evening unfolded with remarkable performances and an atmosphere charged with anticipation.
The evening began with a slight delay, causing the doors to open at 19:00. This extra time proved invaluable for the crew, providing them with the opportunity to meticulously set the stage and ensure every aspect of the performance was flawlessly arranged. As the last pieces of equipment were brought in, anticipation mounted among the audience. Despite what some may have perceived as a shortened set, Nordic Giants took full advantage of their time on stage. Their undeniable talent and commanding presence left an unforgettable impression on the crowd, stirring excitement and setting the stage for the headliners to follow.
If you ever find yourself with the chance to witness Nordic Giants perform live, seize it without hesitation. This instrumental post-rock duo, comprised of Loki and Rôka from England, delivers an experience that transcends mere musical performance. Their live shows are a feast for the senses, featuring the duo adorned in masks and accompanied by mesmerizing cinematic projections that serve as the perfect complement to their evocative instrumental pieces. From thought-provoking visuals to slightly disturbing imagery and moments of whimsy, the selection of videos curated by Nordic Giants adds an extra layer of depth to their already captivating performances.
In the realm of live music, Nordic Giants stand out as true innovators, blending the auditory and visual realms to create an immersive journey for their audience. Their ability to seamlessly merge music and storytelling elevates their performances to an art form, leaving audiences spellbound and eager for more.

Despite my initial unfamiliarity with Leprous, a Norwegian progressive metal band originating from Notodden, their recent performance proved to be a revelation. Their stage presence, coupled with the commanding vocals of their lead singer, left an enduring impression on me. Even with only a scant familiarity with their repertoire, I found myself utterly mesmerized by their electrifying setlist, which included standout tracks like “From the Flame” and “Slave.” Leprous demonstrated an unparalleled ability to seize the stage and captivate the audience, drawing in even the most casual of listeners with their raw energy and musical prowess.
As the night progressed, Leprous concluded their performance with a breathtaking rendition of “The Sky in Red,” leaving the crowd clamouring for more. However, the evening was cut short by the Rock City’s 2200 curfew, as the venue swiftly transitioned into a nightclub. Despite the absence of an encore, the lingering echoes of Leprous’ performance resonated throughout the venue, leaving attendees immersed in the afterglow of an unforgettable musical journey.
Throughout the night, the atmosphere within Rock City crackled with electricity, each note reverberating through the venue’s iconic architecture with pristine acoustics. Rock City stands as a beacon for live music enthusiasts.
