That's an interesting statement, imo. Especially the part about where our musical tastes are influenced by what our parents were spinning. I largely and almost completely agree with that with the sidenote that influences after that play a large part as well. Otherwise we'd all still be listening to Floyd, Queen, Deep Purple, etc. My dad used to play a lot of those, but I found that I used that as a starting point to explore my own musical tastes. And I'm pretty sure that's what you guys meant as well with that.
I, for one, am glad Gregg's musical journey took him the way it did. It's interesting to hear what the influences of the classics of old and the newer classical music, along with the metal influences, brought together and put out in the direction of the way Suspyre is going
That said, and coming back on topic, I would say that if you'd include the new vids and new material I would compare Suspyre to a mix of Seventh Wonder, Circus Maximus, Meshuggah (largely due to Gabe's influences) and Fear Factory (due to Clay's sound, kinda). Imo you can kinda compare Clay's raw sound to Burton Bell, with the footnote that Clay can do all that without vocal effects.
