Since this thread has grown over a page I remark there are songs I've discovered to have influenced a COB song incidentally, sub-consciously, or just inspired COB to perfect something they saw an insufficient musical idea. Such as Bed of Razors (Alice in Hell or was it Alice in Chains, some song), Banned from Heaven (intro is similar to Fire in the Sky by Hypocrisy), Hellhounds On My Trail (chorus is from Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King), Northern Comfort (that legendary melody, I've seen a very similar one sang by a female in a chorus in this peaceful dance/disco song I will never find again to name)... that I can remember now. Other than that there are many song parts, which have roots in a song idea by another artist, which have been discussed in the past. They even took classical melody ideas from dudes like Beethoven and turned them into malice like Hatebreeder. It's good the original melodies invented by COB are usually too tricky to play so not every rapper and trance noob gets to go all over them in their little songs and convince the facebook world they're genious.
