Rhapsody of Fire
Viathyn members have indicated that their influences are varied, including bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, In Flames, Angra, Blind Guardian, Ensiferum, Rhapsody of Fire, Leprous, Dream Theater, Elvenking, Wuthering Heights, Cynic, and Atheist. Of the two Crnkovic brothers, the older Tomislav claims his favorite bands were older acts from the 80s, such as Iron Maiden, while the younger Dave is into the symphonic/power metal bands that arose in the 90s like Rhapsody of Fire and Luca Turilli. Tomislav was introduced to these bands via his younger brother, and they both grew to appreciate this sort of music.
