At night, Bavovnyatko quietly comes to the occupiers’ bases, depots, airfields, oil refineries and other places full of flammable items and starts playing with fire there
Read the OP. Is there a summary of why this isn't just called Prog?

Prog has much more to it than just odd time signatures

Oh. Ohhhhhh. How does a typical math rock song compare to Fracture then? There's surely more to the genre than playing merely in odd metres?

Math is also (generally) way less indulgent than prog. Shorter songs, fewer parts, more punky.

Yeah I listened to the first few songs in the OP and they sound basically like stripped down King Crimson where Fripp and Belew are trading lines in varying metres. The drumming is pretty basic. Again, not really hearing much as complex as say, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum would have done. And Fracture is far more complex than the song's I listened to in the OP and that's early 1970s prog.
