They run in the same orbit as Darkseed, Lindemann, Turmion Kätilöt, Emigrate and Samael, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dissection, Cradle of Filth, Korn, At the Gates and Rammstein, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
