History
Established in the late 1990s as Studio Vegas,[2] the studio was taken over by The Killers in 2008.[3] The studio was opened to all artists on August 26, 2009. Prior to that time, it was used by The Killers and invited artists.[4] The studio adopted its name from the Nevada state flag.[2]
The studio has hosted and/or recorded notable artists including Mötley Crüe, B.B. King, Elton John, and Imagine Dragons.[2][5][3] Other artists who have recorded at Battle Born Studios include Howling Bells, The Envy Corps, and David Hopkins.
In promotion of their fourth consecutive UK number 1 studio album Battle Born, The Killers allowed NME to tour the studio.[6]
