What main genre would you classify our music as?

So everyone in our band has a different classification for our music. One band member thinks we should be referred to as alternative. I think that is too broad though. I think we are more avant-garde or experimental. Another member thinks we're progressive/experimental. Any thoughts or other suggestions for our genre?? Very curious if  anyone could suggest something..

No need to apologize. Thanks for your answer. That sounds like an interesting genre. Must be the keyboards and Synth in Enter Bestia.

I haven't listened to your music, but I honestly feel like you should be celebrating the fact that nobody can peg your genre; especially when even the bandmembers themselves can't seem to agree! ll this says is that your music is interesting and eclectic enough to appeal to many different people. That can only mean a faster-growing audience.

interesting subject matter this one! i have 2 bands with which i play with.mothership oracle i"ve always classified as prog/space rock,as the influences are strong on both sides. but "la luna e le stelle" (my ambient project) i"d say-breaks all the barriers,and is difficult to classify! we use dance beats which are layered with loads of mellotron,moog e.t.c.and the music is very t.dream/vangelis inspired.but with the bumpz bumpz in it (we do it for the kids! its one way of getting them in to prog!!) it sounds like the orb doing prog-rock! lots of free-form jamming,but i tend to use an overall theme, even if some of our tracks are 40min plus epics!

Oh wait, I think I know this one, classical.
We could be progressive rock though.
