Windham Hell: Please tell me someone else somewhere has heard of this avant-garde 90's metal band!

I posted it here and not on the metal or experimental forum because I'd like to discuss the topic of classical music's influence on modern metal, if one exists. I hear people claim their band is rooted in the works of Mozart and Vivaldi, but seldom have I ever heard this claim substantiated aside from in this now-extinct band's work, which on Window of Souls, one of Windham's finer CDs, to be specific, even goes far enough to feature a guitar cover of one of Vivaldi's classics.

So what influences, if any, have you seen in modern metal?
