Coal (CD)
The Norwegian progressive metal band Leprous have been unusually prolific for a group whose releases have been consistently complex and well-received, with five full-lengths since 2004. Their latest, Coal, have taken an aesthetic that they arguably perfected with 2011's Bilateral, and rather than continuing to refine their sound in tiny increments, have instead managed to blossom anew. While not a total reinvention, Coal brings a freshness and sense of vitality to their sound that was absent on their cooler, more cerebral releases, and the shivering energy serves them extremely well.
