Try find your own tone and voice on the instrument. And also, your influences are going to change as you go along, so combine them and find your voice in that... it takes time, and time is on your side right now.

For me, I've always been a bit too influenced by Deliverance... especially my vocals (I know you can't hear that much on the single I posted, but if you go to the slower songs on the album, you can tell). My mom has told me before that I don't have my own accent in my songs because I'm trying to sound too much like Jimmy... consciously, I'm not trying to, but she is correct.

I'd say my main influences are Deliverance, Metallica, Tourniquet, System of a Down, Skillet, Red, and Megadeth, with some Believer too, though I try to add my own flavor without being just a mix of all those bands (and for anyone scared by seeing Skillet on there, they're mainly what started by obsession with symphonic rock/metal, hence why I list them).

When you say “your own accent”, where are you from?

I've got a basic American accent, the type you hear from everyone in California... But when I sing I get a tendency to adopt Jimmy's accent to an extent

Ritual Servant announced on FB that they've got album #3 in process!  I think it's still early yet, but something to look forward to nonetheless!

Oh sweet summer's child... you thought I meant his actual voice lolz. What I mean when I say find your own voice, is to try and find his own style and own unique tone, rather than sound like a Kirk Whammett clone. And that takes time with any one learning an instrument (or in fact, any craft). Most don't find it and end up becoming a sound alike. They'll copy their heroes and try play like them, but few ever tap into their own voice. SOme people have it naturally, other's have to find it. Tony Iommi, Brain May, Angus young, Slash, Ty Tabor and many more, have their own voice and style of playing. You know them when you them. Yes you can hear their influences, but they bring themselves to the table from that. That's what it means to find your voice in music. It takes a lot of listening to lots of music, and not just metal, then nurturing that into something that is your own.

Lol... I actually did know what you meant, it just so happened that my actual voice is the biggest place where I'm copying too much

YES! The first album was meh, but Albus Mendacium was AMAZING. If they keep up the quality and skill of AM they could enter in to the Christian Big Four pretty soon.

Oh sweet summer’s child… Lol

Pleased to meet you. My name is Reverend Henry Kane. 

Come to the light child! 

^ Lolz...

Haven't seen that movie in years. If I remember correctly, the  creepy old villain looking guy the movie sets up to appear as evil turns out to be the good guy simply warning them. Could be wrong though it's been a minute.

That's is a classic trope in horror movies, usually it's a creepy looking gardener acting all creepy, turns out they were just trying to warn the new tenets of the house in their own special creepy way that the place is haunted. 

First one's a classic of course, and the theme song by Jerry Goldsmith: Carol Anne's theme, I used to play that as a kid on cassette and sleep to it.

I like Albus Mendacium better overall, but “Seven Trumpets” is still my favorite of their riffs.

Nope, Kane is evil.

I’m not completely sure, but I believe Henry Kane is the guy on the cover of Anthrax’s Among the Living album. 



It makes sense… Scott Ian is a huge horror movie fan
