Battles in Progarchives

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Finally! Battles has been added to Progarchives under the Heavy Prog genre.

In case some of you don't know about them they're a math rock band that plays with inhuman precision. They're very minimalistic, have strong Discipline-era King Crimson influences as well as some Krautrock and Electronica. Aside from being labeled as a math rock band, they've been also labeled as Dance Prog (note: not a real genre, but very descriptive of their sound). The music is very accessible, but complex at the same time.

So I'm here to recommend this band to people who haven't checked them out yet and also discus about their music for the ones who already know about them.

Here are some samples for those who don't know them:
