Some Infulences of ours are as follows..(there's alot more then just these)
The ones in red are the ones who go by the most ( for the ones shown anyway)
Cradle Of Filth --A Gothic/black metal band that became famous in 1996 with their third important release entitled Dusk and her Embrace. Since then, they have released four more albums, namely, Cruelty and the Beast, From the Cradle to Enslave, Midian and Bitter Suites to Succubi.
Therion--Therion is a Swedish symphonic metal band. Its name originates from Greek, where therion (??????) means beast; the name refers to the beast of the Christian Book of Revelation, however the band's name itself originates from the Celtic Frost album To Mega Therion.
Freedom Call --Freedom Call is a very happy and melodic German power metal band created in 1998 by guitarist/singer Chris Bay and Gamma Ray's drummer Dan Zimmermann. They've released 4 studio albums so far: Stairway to Fairyland (1999), Crystal Empire (2001), Eternity (2002) and The Circle of Life (2005).
System Of A Down --System of a Down are a quartet from Los Angeles, California. The current members are Serj Tankian (vocals, keyboards and live acoustic guitar), John Dolmayan (drums), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals) and Shavo Odadjian (bass).
Nightwish --Nightwish is a Finnish musical band formed in 1996 in the town of Kitee. Nightwish composes songs that are often classified as either symphonic metal or power metal; their musical style has also been described as a symphonic metal variant, called opera metal.
Amon Amarth --Deeply rooted in death metal with firm beliefs in Viking mythology, AMON AMARTH formed in 1992 in Tumba, Sweden, a southern suburb of Stockholm. They began writing material with lots of melodies, harmonies and lyrics about Vikings and the northern gods.
Steve Vai --Steven Siro Vai (born June 6, 1960 in Carle Place, New York) is an American guitarist, composer, and record producer, notable for having received a Grammy Award (along with nine nominations) and being cited as an influence by many guitarists from the 1980s and onwards.
Children Of Bodom -- Children of Bodom is a Finnish band from the town of Espoo which plays a hybrid of melodic death metal, speed metal, thrash metal and power metal, combining various elements of the genres in different ways across their discography. The band incorporates distorted vocals and blast beats into their style, as well as keyboard arrangements and high-tempo instrumental solos.
Finntroll --Finntroll is a Finnish Metal Band founded in 1997. Their sound is a combination of black metal and humppa, a traditional Finnish polka. Nearly all songs are done in Swedish, because their original lyric-writer Katla spoke it as his native tongue and, to quote the band, it just sounds "damn trollish".
Korpiklaani --Korpiklaani (which means "Forest Clan" in English) is a folk metal band from Finland. Korpiklaani is the new name of the band previously called Shaman, that was formed by Jonne Järvelä who still remains the mastermind of Korpiklaani. In contrast to Shaman that recorded songs in the original Sami language, Korpiklaani record mosts songs in English.
VintersorgVintersorg is a Swedish progressive, folk/viking, black metal-influenced band formed in 1994 under the name Vargatron (Wolfthrone in English). The sound of Vintersorg has vastly changed over the years, as his earlier sound had more of a viking feel, and his later more of an experimental post-black sound.
Beethoven -- Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 1827) was a German composer of classical music, who lived predominantly in Vienna, Austria. Beethoven is widely regarded as one of history's supreme composers, and he produced notable works even after losing his hearing.
Mozart -- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (born Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart) is among the most significant and enduringly popular composers of European classical music. His enormous output includes works that are widely acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music.
And a scattering of random celtic and choir based songs and artists.
