There are multiple artists/groups with the name BATTLE.

1. British rock band.
2. Finnish black metal band.
3. Korean vocal group -> 배틀

1) Battle: formerly known as Morphic Fields and Killing Moon, Battle were together between 1999 and 2007. Bunking PE in South London to play guitar, Jason Bavanandan and Jamie Ellis were inspired in equal measure by The Beatles, , , and Nirvana. In 2000, the pair left school for Kent University in search of a band, finding Pixies enthusiast, Tim Scudder and, later garage-head, Oliver Davies. After two years of committed practice and sporadic gigging in both the cathedral city and metropolitan London, the group remained unheralded. Leaving Canterbury, Morphic Fields retreated to a disused bank vault under Luton High Street, to continue their work as the Donnie Darko inspired Killing Moon. After a brace of well received gigs in Lewisham, the band secured new management and studio time, leading to the demo, “Tendency” and wider interest. They changed their name to Battle in an attempt to convey how they fought for their dreams. This ideal of struggle and aspiration pervades much of their work.

In 2005, Battle embarked upon a series of small tours, releasing the singles, “Isabelle/ Feel The Same” and “Demons/ Damascus” both of which sold out within days. Support slots with the likes of Bloc Party, The Rakes, and British Sea Power followed.
