Influences: My main influence (particularly regarding my work with Firestorm) is progressive-power metal (bands like Dream Theater, Angra, Symphony X, Savatage, Vision Divine, etc.)My heart also follows the important musical stream of 80s' metal, expecially Queensryche (also a great progressive band), Iron Maiden and Metallica.In my opinion other very important musical genres are hard rock (Rush above all. Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Mr. Big) and grunge rock (Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, the band that pushed me into singing and blew me away).
Sounds Like: I can't find a notorious band that matches our music style and criterias!
Record Label: Maybe one day.....
Type of Label: None
