style

According to thethrashmetalguide.com , the band fills the gap well after Sepultura's Arise . In addition to classic thrash metal, the group also bring modern elements or industrial metal influences, as can be heard on Massacre, Corruption, Destruction ... On the album you can also hear the influences of Slayer in their harder and faster creative period. The screaming vocals also reveal features from hardcore punk . Songs like No Chance to Escape sound like a mix of Thrash and Death Metal . On the album Force against Mind, the band continue to introduce modern elements. The sound carrier Inner Trauma often reminds the group of Slayer. On the self-titled album, they completely dedicated themselves to classic, aggressive and fast Thrash Metal, so that it is comparable to Slayer's Reign in Blood . Slayer and Sepultura influences can also be heard on Breakneck .
