H.P. Lovecraft stories, writings of Edgar Allan Poe, Choosing Death: The Improbable History Of Death Metal & Grindcore, The Halo Series, The Art Of War, and Dante's Inferno. And magazines of course: Terrorizer Magazine and Metal Maniacs.
In no particular order: Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P), H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Dani Filth, James Hetfield, Abbath, Quorthon (R.I.P.), Vitek (R.I.P), and all the black, death, folk and thrash metal bands out there that have played a fundamental role in shaping the music I want to play.
