I do not mean to get too far off topic here, but wow, Nocturnus... now, that is a band a have not listened to in a long time. I actually traded my copy of their [U]Thresholds[/U] album for a cheap classical guitar that fell apart on me. Bad trade. Anyway, I like your list of influences... great music! :)
