Surprised by the fact that there is not a exclusive topic about Leprous, I decided to start this topic. I personally have listened to last three leprous albums and enjoy them to a great extent. Leprous is for me one of the most promising bands in modern prog metal.

And their drummer is one of the most promising musicans in modern prog. Great band, I still have to check their first album.

Yeah, their drummer is really talented but never goes too much on "show off"y side (which is a great thing for me).
btw,Which one of their albums you prefer?

Wow, this is interesting to hear. I have never noticed anything about his style, but I am going to listen to their latest again, so I will try to pay attention to the drumming. I also need to check their first one as well as listen more deeply to Tall Poppy Syndrome.

I see you like prog rock... I have recently discovered a Swedish band Anglagard, who released two albums in the 90's and then one last year after a 16-year hiatus. I was really impressed with the drummer, Mattias Olsson. He does not show off but really makes the music interesting and emotive so to say. Check them/him out.

Thank you, I am familiar with Anglagard and have listened to their debut which was beyond expectations. I sure need to give that masterpiece more spins. Also, I was aware of their new album but did not give that attention. Will dl their recent material today.
If you liked Anglagard, I think you would probably enjoy Discipline , another good prog rock band, I personally was really impressed by their recent album :To Shatter All Accord
Again, tnx

I love Tall Poppy Syndrome. I think it's an absolutely fantastic record. I love how they bring in a bunch of different stylistic influences not often heard in European metal (barbershop???). Also, I think the kick drum sounds phenomenal on that album (although some of the other drum sounds are a bit more questionable.

The second album did not catch my ear as much and I haven't tried the third album yet.

I would like to appreciate you for sharing such a great info with us

I don't know, I personally find TPS to be their weakest album... It just sounds too much like Opeth, not their own album.

I actually feel that Coal has been their best release. Yes, it's not as erratic, but the musicality in it is unbelievable. "The Valley" is a masterpiece, as are "Foe" and "The Cloak."

Coal is amazing and would probably end up as my second favorite prog release of '13. I also simply love these guys in Ihsahn's latest.
