Hey folks! I'm looking for some heavy neo-prog albums or bands. By heavy I mean albums like: Arena's "Pepper's Ghost" and "The Unquiet Sky", Pendragon's "Pure" and "Passion", IQ's "Frequency" and "The Road Of Bones", Galahad's "Empires Never Last" and so on. Also albums with bombastic or emotive solos like Pendragon's "Not Of This World" are considered. Thanks in advance!

yes, I forgot about them, although they're more of a progressive metal band than neo-prog (IMO)

Heavy neo-prog? That makes me think immediately of Leaves by Nine Stones Close. A stellar album. -------------

Dr wu23 I did. And I found a few. But it doesn't have a section for "heavy" Neo-Prog.

I have listened to it already. A brilliant album. Actually it's the first album that introduced me to Neo-Prog. Beautiful soaring guitar solos. But I don't consider it heavy (compared to something like The Road Of Bones for example).

maybe Satellite from Poland? It's not my favorite by them because I don't tend to like heavy, but you might enjoy "Into the Night". My personal favorite by them is "Evening Games" which is actually pretty heavy too.
You might also like the latest by Believe, a related group, called "Seven Widows". Brilliant

Pallas - Dreams of Men Frost* - Milliontown IQ- Ever (Further Away is very heavy and could be seen as the 'foundation track' for The Road Of Bones) |

I concur, but even apart from that, Ever is outstanding. My favorite IQ album. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
