Influence
Cauldron Born was heavily influenced by metal gods Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, as well as progressive metal bands like Helstar and Fates Warning. Influences from thrash bands like Megadeth as well as doom bands like Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, and Witchfinder General can also be found. One of the most notable aspects of Cauldron Born is Bentley's flowing, poetic lyrics. He wrote based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, the songs on ...And Rome Shall Fall mostly deal with dark fantasy, whereas the songs on Born of the Cauldron have more to do with dark occult themes, especially seen on "The Final Incantation/In The Dreaming City", which many fans hold as one of the band's finest lyrical and musical masterpieces.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“Only let the North exert as much moral influence over the South, as the South has exerted demoralizing influence over the North, and slavery would die amid the flame of Christian remonstrance, and faithful rebuke, and holy indignation.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfilment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“Temperament is the natural, inborn style of behavior of each individual. It’s the how of behavior, not the why.... The question is not, “Why does he behave a certain way if he doesn’t get a cookie?” but rather, “When he doesn’t get a cookie, how does he express his displeasure...?” The environment—and your behavior as a parent—can influence temperament and interplay with it, but it is not the cause of temperamental characteristics.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
