Influences
The avant-garde, and strange. Some bands like:
Gorguts,
Arcturus,
unexpecT,
Behold... The Arctopus,
Negativa,
Ulver,
Tom Waits,
Daniel Johnston,
etc.
WHAT IS THIS!?!? It is what could be called a band of the extreme variety. Experimentation is rampant, including reaching out towards the darker, more Avant-garde corners of music.
There is little hesitation to use any and all musical elements such as: marimbas, tubas, African percussion, smooth and sexy jazz, or a group of 10 screaming frantically inside of a nursery.
Carthage consists of Bryce and Brant. Bryce does things with strings and Brant does things with sticks.
