Cultural Influence
It has been rumoured by fans of Dream Theater, a progressive metal band, that the band has referenced the story on their album Systematic Chaos. The two-part song "In the Presence of Enemies" features a storyline patterned after Priest's plotline, with lyrics that are paraphrases and even direct quotes by the characters, as spoken in the official English translation of Volume 1. The similarities have been extensively noted by some Dream Theater fans. This influence was later confirmed by John Petrucci, who wrote the lyrics.
