Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Nice on the French Riviera, active since 2014. Their sound fuses Scandinavian-influenced melodeath with the breakdowns and energy of metalcore against the unlikely backdrop of the Mediterranean coast.
Uphill Battle formed in Santa Barbara, California in 1999 under the name Crawlspace before adopting their final name, playing a style that drew from grindcore's velocity and metalcore's structural tension. Their two Relapse Records albums — a self-titled debut (2002) and Wreck of Nerves (2004) — were noted for combining the dissonance of Discordance Axis with hardcore intensity recalling early Converge. The band split in 2005 and undertook a brief reunion in 2010.
