Purify - progressive metal

Band

I take inspiration from singers,poets and entertainers like, Sully Erna, Soul Williams, Bono, Anthony Kiedis, Chuck Schuldiner, Tony Kakko and Navid Modiri.

Micke Hasselqvist - guitar player

Line6 SpiderII head and cab

Influences: My main source of inspiration is all the prog bands that I'm into, bands like Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, Opeth, Symphony X, Tool, Ayreon, just to name a few. But I listen to all sorts of music, like Michael Jackson, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Elton John, Eric Clapton...
As far as guitar players go, I'm mainly influenced by Steve Vai, John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert.

Andreas Rahm - bass player

Equipment: Ibanez Proline Series 5050
Epiphone Thunderbird IV Gothic bass
Behringer Ultrabass BX600

Influences: I listen to Mötley Crüe, Nirvana, Ramones and of course the classic bands Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.

But my biggest influence of all must be Nikki Sixx...music-wise? No, I mean everything else!

Julia Abélle - keyboard player

Equipment: Roland Juno-D

Influences: I stick mostly to atmospheric, melancholic and very visual kind of metal ranging over doom, black, death styles and their mixture.

Tons of energy and creativity I get from the bands as Empyrium, Anathema, Decoryah, Theatres Des Vampires, Hypocrisy, Tiamat, Swallow The Sun, Emperor, Christ Agony, Sear Bliss, Rotting Christ and more.

I have to mention The Cure as well. Fantastic music!
