Again quite the remarkable mix of guitar fusion and composed, well-thought-out passages similar to the classic style of the 70s as in albums by Toto Blanke or Akkerman although there are tracks that import the metalish stylings from the 2000's or even electronic repetitionary elements.  The discography is here.

A composition cowritten and coplayed, interestingly, with the great Paul McCandless, called Winterlude:

For a more uptempo fusiony track consider the opener, Seventh Sense:

Later in 2014 the team came up with another CD called "This one goes to eleven" referencing Spinal Tap, also featuring McCandless, despite the title there is no heavy metal in there but more of the guitar-based fusion from 2010, while in the 2012 acoustic guitar outing with Tilmann Hohn, the laidback and more sedative slower side of 2010 is featured as if that album was split into two distinct personalities. I guess there is also some resemblance to the Muck Groh albums with Grotesk, which are strongly recommended to all.

But overall, you could say the most influence perhaps is from the great Toto.
