Croatia's Venia have issued a new interview with ARCH ENEMY bassist Sharlee D'Angelo. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Which bands have had the greatest influence on your creative work and style in the beginning of your career and which are now?
A: "It is so incredible, like in the beginning we wanted to make classic metal. Things that have influenced us are everything in the early 80s and over to the thrash, also old 70s influences in everything from DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW to THIN LIZZY and JUDAS PRIEST. You could say that we have baked together all of that into the same cookie. Nowadays what you listen to kind of goes a little in waves and we listen to very, very different music. Like Angela for instance she is the one in the band that listens to the most extreme music, she still stands with her knees deep down in the Florida swamp, while the rest of us listens to more melodic things."
