style
According to Elke Huber from Powermetal.de , How to Handle Pain meets “straightforward and driving heavy rock with a US list and a subtle industrial aftertaste with modern, interesting contrasting synth programming without the kitsch factor that is otherwise typical for Finnish bands” , whereby the "scratchy-rough" Viman increases the macho factor. Thematically, the texts would mostly deal with the subject of pain. Similarities to Amorphis can also be heard in the songs .
