Watermill for Progressive Metal

Why should they be added:
Progressive is really a life reason for these guys.
They love experimenting and spending hours on on the smallest detail in every song, they are not afraid of tempo changes, signature changes, genre changing, during any track.
Remembering to remain musical, in the process.
They are literally grown up with the top of the 70s prog (King Crimson, Genesis, Area, PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Gentle Giant, Yes), fusion (Chick Corea, Allan Holdsworth, Tribal Tech, Brand X), technical death metal (Cynic, Death, Pestilence, Atheist, Cannibal Corpse) and modern technical metal (Intervals, Animals as Leaders, Meshuggah, Special Providence, Dream Theater)

Bio:
Watermill is an instrumental prog band from Rome, Italy, formed in 2019.
They write and record stuff in their own studio in Ciampino, Rome.
They like odd times, fusion, 70's prog, experimentation, and any form of metal.
They are also nerds, really influenced by movies and videogames.
Their first 5 tracks-EP, Origins, is a perfect example of the variety of their tastes, going from spacey ballads, to violent riffs, to fast metal solos, to melodic chilly parts.

If you don't mind, I plan to fuse your first two paragraphs into the finished biography if you get accepted, as there's pertinent information that should be included.

Hi! Please let us know when you have time if there was any feedback about our record. Even negative ones are important for us.

Thanks for the update!
