Actually according to Self Portrait’s point of view everyone has something special in them. So in that sense they are inspired by each and every one. But at the end of the day, there are some bands whose music just comes out naturally for them and which they can’t stop anyway, anyhow most commonly Dream Theater and Metallica r their greatest inspiration and other than that bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Children Of Bodom, Pantera, Opeth, Symphony-X, Lamb Of God, Arch Enemy, Rush, Yes, Marillion, Pink Floyd, Camel, Guns n’ Roses, Scorpions, Alterbridge and apart from that, from Bangladesh they are very much inspired by Warfaze and also Artcell, Aurthohin, Black etc they've got so many inspirations can’t be finished.

Addressing them as progressive metal doesn’t mean to tie themselves in a single genre. It’s really difficult to explain progressive in a single conclusive way because it contains no boundaries. Their music comes directly from our heart. Whatever comes in it, it may be even jazz, blues, folk, country whatever it is we just bring it on and rip it off.
