Sounds LikeEverything that I listen to comes out in my writing - and thats a given with any musician.
... Subconsiously the stuff that you take in just kinda comes out, even when you don’t think you’re drawing from it. Its kinda cool; hopefully it makes for a good personal style.

Assyria: lead guitarist could really shred. one of the tightest drummers and dullest vocalists i've ever seen. wish i'd seen them with a bassist.
