Influences
Their music is influenced by Stargate, especially the theatrical film. In an interview, frontman Nils K. Rue said: 'I wouldn't say I like the TV series Stargate, because I never saw an entire episode of that. But I really like the film Stargate. Of course, I took some inspiration from that...'
