Heavy Prog

Heavy prog defines progressive rock music that draws as much influences from acid rock and early hard rock as it does from classic progressive rock. In simple terms, it is a marriage of the guitar-based heavy rock of the late 1960s and early 1970s - artists such as Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Blue Cheer - and the early symphonic prog movement represented by King Crimson, Genesis, and ELP.

Characteristics
Heavy prog is characterized by loud distorted guitars, dense bass-and-drum sound, shifting and/or unorthodox time signatures, and unconventional song structures. The typical band lineup includes a drummer, a guitarist, a singer, a bassist, and/or a keyboardist.
