Music style and lyrics

On the debut album, the band played raw, chaotic Norwegian Black Metal, which has been compared to that of Darkthrone and especially their album Transilvanian Hunger , but also has Celtic Frost influences. The lyrics are about blasphemy , satanism , the apocalypse and the end of Christians and their God .

Reviews

In the Tales of the Macabre , Arma Christi was described as a "cool and very blasphemous album".
