They run in the same orbit as Blut Aus Nord, Emperor, Borknagar, Burzum and Paysage D'Hiver, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Now, Diabolical, Alcest, Carpenter Brut, Borknagar and Zuriaake, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
