It was a combination of a lot of death metal bands, cause we were into the extreme. Morbid Angel, Carcass, Death, things like that… And then, there were some hardcore stuff we were listening to, bands like Dead Guy, who are heavily influenced by Black Flag and stuff like that, who, when we were younger, they were a newer band…
The three of us as a band listened to all different types of music, a lot of which wasn't heavy. Some stuff was on the more avant garde side: Hurl, Don Cab and 1.6 Band. It was a weird melding of that with bands like Bloodlet, Deadguy and other traditional hardcore stuff.
