yo dude! been away. oh man. before i get into their influences, the most recent three records are the BEST. for me personally ‘supporting caste’ is one of the best rock records of all time. as for their influences, a blend of metal/punk, mostly metal. early metallica, duh. SNFU (canadian OG punk band…live gigs are stuff of lore). voivod (80s canadian metal…very awesome). so many man. my dabble into voivod made me ‘get it’ if that makes sense.
