I've always wandered what are your METAL influences
Especially now with the new album that is totally different from what you've ever done.
While there are some Candlemass/Celtic Frost elements in "El Norra Alila" and "Sahara" , "Mabool" has a more heavy metal-ish approach with progressive touch which even reminds me of bands like Blind Guardian and Dream Theater in some parts.

Speak and analyze please
 
One of the reasons we are so "strange" is the diffrence in music influences that the band have, all in all we are inspired from bands like: At The Gates, Iron Maiden, Emperor, Dream Theatre, Symphony X, Deicide, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Paradise Lost, Opeth, Morbid Angel ect.
