I currently don't have free time to delve into a band at the moment, in a few days I'll get back to you on that. :)

Growing up, I was always a huge fan of the Twilight Zone, Tales from the Darkside, Alfred Hitchcock and Tales from the Crypt along with various horror films and novels. But I do think that music and poetry perhaps my main influences. Fantasy and the supernatural always interested me - when done right, of course.

In a roundabout way of going back to Cormorant, their bassist/vocalist Arthur von Nagel used to frequent this online message board I used to go to. It was a gaming forum, so I did not have any idea of mind of what to expect. Needless to say, I added him as a friend on Facebook and used to ask so many questions about the band: What do these song lyrics mean, what are your influences, what does this object on the album symbolize, etc. I was obsessed with him for some time, he was very modest and humorous and overall a pleasure to chat with. Unforetunetly he recently left the band for his personal life (he was newly wed during that time) and he got a job at TellTale games.

I remember, not sure if it was him in particular, this time where one of the band members said that they always loved how their fans interpurt their work, referring to guitar covers. And I guess this is my own way of doing it.
