Ooh, I love Leprous's style of music, so I've got tons of artist recs for you! Soen - Soen has Leprous's heavy melodic focus, along with some songs that are more interesting rhythmically. Try [Antagonist](https://open.spotify.com/track/3NcGJRziMB3fubBB2Rqq2x?si=b6ab24986d95491b) to start. Altesia - Altesia is on the calmer, more thoughtful side of prog, reminding me of VOLA more than Leprous. Their music puts me almost in trance, as I sway to the beautiful vocals and gentle instrumentals. Try [Micromegas](https://open.spotify.com/track/64i3keSihwwyDBwe6L8OJy?si=cbda5b904574454b) to start. The Dear Hunter - The Dear Hunter has tons of 'oomf' to their music! It digs in, with compelling melodies and lyrics (though still has those accessible, melodic sections Leprous is known for). If Leprous performed in the Grand Canyon or on the Moon, this is what they would sound like, lol. Try [The March](https://open.spotify.com/track/5N7BPMQelk4faFRworPQzo?si=bc06bfa149584c73) to start. Katatonia - Hm, how to describe Katatonia. They're like... on the sadder, more reminescent side of prog. The songs are beautiful and haunting, but have an echoey quality to them that feels almost distant. Heartful stuff. Try [Soil's Song](https://open.spotify.com/track/2dQSvj1XBkoJ04UPZwolNT?si=756556b734224680) to start. Pain of Salvation - If what you like about Leprous is the heavy focus on melody with lighter instrumentation, Pain of Salvation will be up your alley. Many of their songs are long, beautiful, and have achingly beautiful vocals. Try [Full Throttle Tribe](https://open.spotify.com/track/7rUPFQ9KQW8AmKIqme7XGI?si=8f6fe72fe0424361) to start. If you like these artists, I have an extended [playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1bSc4anblfXTi1DjqOgaES?si=f41aa9548ce94e5b) of this kind of melodic, thoughtful prog on Spotify. Hope you find something you like in all these recs. Cheers \^-\^
