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:
“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)
“The private life of one man shall be a more illustrious monarchy,—more formidable to its enemy, more sweet and serene in its influence to its friend, than any kingdom in history. For a man, rightly viewed, comprehendeth the particular natures of all men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I am always glad to think that my education was, for the most part, informal, and had not the slightest reference to a future business career. It left me free and untrammeled to approach my business problems without the limiting influence of specific training.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
