France's Animalize influences include: heavy metal from the '70s and '80s, but specifically the likes of Loudness, W.A.S.P., Tokyo Blade, Glenn Tipton, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Hughes, and Annihilator and especially classic French heavy metal like ADX, Malediction, Sortilège and Warning. However, it is the band's love of movies which arguably influences Animalize's outlook the most.
