They run in the same orbit as Puscifer, Gojira, Soen, Dream Theater and Meshuggah, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Deftones, Whitechapel, The Power to Believe, Trey Gunn and Lustmord, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
