Someone has already started a topic on them a couple of years ago, but I can't see any replies from team members and they're not in the archives. And they have a new album now so i started a new topic. Anyway, first band from my home country i like. I'm guessing Heavy Prog, but they also have Crossover elements, so I'm not sure http://battlecircus.bandcamp.com/ I bought their debut, but their new album is free there ^ Any other info you need should be on their wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Circus_(band) or on their official Facebook http://www.facebook.com/battlecircus ------------- http://thedarkthird.bandcamp.com/ |

Heavier than Gazpacho. But also very varied, with lots of softer parts as well. I listened to the album this morning after reading this thread and liked it very much! I think Heavy Prog is most appropriate. But I guess Crossover would be acceptable... ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

If you're in the need of new Kiwi bands and you're intrigued by this kind of stuff, I'd check out Looking to Windward ASAP (IIRC they're from Auckland as well too).
http://looktowindward.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://looktowindward.bandcamp.com/ But I agree while this stuff is dark, moody, and atmospheric to a degree, this is more suited for Heavy. Awesome find, and I'll bring this to the team. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

How embarrassing, they're under evaluation right now already by my own team... just shows you the importance of checking before throwing a band to a team  ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

And added to Heavy Prog they were indeed - almost two years ago now: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7669" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7669 . Tremendous band, and yet there are no reviews either for their 2011 self-titled full album (which has just two ratings of 5 stars) or their earlier (2007) EP 'The Half-Light Symphony' (not even any ratings for this one). I am listening to the EP right now, and it's truly magnificent! I don't write reviews myself, but any Prog Reviewers out there looking for a couple of hours of damn fine music to get their teeth into could do a whole lot worse than heading over to http://battlecircus.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http:// - battle - circus.bandcamp.com/ Great stuff!
