MICHAEL ROMEO – That is difficult because we try to make each song have its own individuality. We just try to write good songs. Comparing the sound of a song like “King of Terrors” to say..”Candlelight Fantasia ” is tough. We are a metal band, we have progressive tendencies and incorporate classical ideas into the music. But each song is usually very different from the next. People have their own way of labeling bands as well…someone could hear “The Accolade” and think of us as a prog band…someone could hear “Wicked” and say we are a metal band . Someone could hear the track “The Odyssey”, and have no idea. So…I guess if we had to narrow it down..we are a progressive metal band.

Will you ever credit the classical pieces you use in your music?
MICHAEL ROMEO - This issue has recently been brought to our attention. From time to time we have used different sections of classical music in our songs. We figured people would immediately recognize this. In the end of Death of Balance, we incorporated the Lacrymosa from Mozart's Requiem.....now, most people we talk with say "I like how you guys used the Mozart there." - incorporating the old and the new. ( anyone who saw Amadeus knows this )...So we figured this was obvious to everyone. We are not trying to "be sneaky" or "claiming credit" or anything like that. We thought people would realize this..as a given. But anyway... now it is brought to our attention, and we recognize AND totally respect this. So " yes" we will pay more attention to this and if we do use something, of course we will credit it.
