User Review
( vote)Binary Creed is a Swedish Progressive band, and A Battle Won is their sophomore release. As with their debut, Binary Creed has opted to create a concept album … this time centering around war and terror — both pretty good topics to build an aggressive Metal album around. As expected from a Progressive Metal album, the production quality is stellar and crisp … in particular Peter Widding’s drum sounds are so realistic, you may think he’s set his kit up in your listening room.
The band lists Dream Theater as a primary influence, and you can hear that especially in the musical passages. As is typical with many concept albums, melody and catchiness is somewhat compromised in favor of force-fitting a storyline … and unfortunately A Battle Won falls into that conundrum. However, there’s plenty of “progressiveness” to sink your teeth into with this album, so enthusiasts of this subgenre will likely enjoy what they hear.
