What are your influences musically?

Growing up I was always obsessed with music, I remember my cousin showed me Eminem’s “The Eminem Show” at an early age and I’d never heard anything as jarring as that especially, with the lyrical content.
When I was 10 I started playing guitar and started listening to bands such as Korn, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Suicide Silence, Chelsea Grin, Waking the Cadaver, Thy Art Is Murder to name a few.
4 years later I was writing + producing + mixing and performing live for Deathcore and Hardcore bands in Australia as well as a couple of EDM projects.
In 2017/2018 I heard “ImSippinTeaInYourHood” and “GNARLY BASTARD” by XXXTENTACION and was instantly hooked on how aggressive it sounded with the heavy 808 and screaming vocals mixed together.
It combined everything I was interested in musically and got me started making more “Trap Metal” type beats, then laid some vocals on a beat one day; and that’s how Xen0christ started.
I released that the “Trap Metal” scene in Australia wasn’t too prevalent and not many people had dived into the sound at that time and ever since then I’ve been making the hardest sounds I possibly can.
