Influences
Among Birthmark members' earliest influences were artists such as Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Queen and others. However, by the mid-2000s, around the release of Product of Black Days, Birthmark began showing an interest in electronic music, such as that of trip-hop acts Massive Attack, Portishead and alternative-metal music, such as that of Tool, which they claimed as major influences on the sound of Product of Black Days. While working on new material, the band have continued to mention alternative rock, progressive rock, electronic, and hip hop musicians as favourites—particularly Radiohead, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Muse, Camel, DJ Shadow.
