Europe is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Spitfire Records, Firehouse, Eddie Meduza, Deep Purple and Pink Floyd. Those roots explain a lot about how Europe arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Poison, Y&T and Tesla, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Van Canto, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, RedOne, Ben Moody and Johan Reinholdz, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Europe, reaching back through Spitfire Records and forward to Van Canto. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
