style

Eduardo Rivadavia from Allmusic stated that the band initially played more diverse music before turning to "Proto-Thrash-Metal", which was influenced by crustcore , in 2000 . In his review of Revel in Desecration , Gunnar Sauermann from Metal Hammer wrote that you can hear Retro-Thrash-Metal on it, which still seems authentic. It sounds like all the bands of the 1980s from Kreator to Possessed have come together on this album. The songs are raw, wild and brutal, with a slight influence from Black Metal . On nocturnalcult.com was in The traumatizer a mixture of black and thrash metal found -Rezension. The riffs vary from catchy to complex- groovy , while the vocals are rougher than most of the other singers. The lyrics are a bit strange and not of the average devil-worshiping , anti-religious, hateful kind, even if all of this is given, but more modern, with a psychological aspect. Scott Alisoglu from Blabbermouth.net noted aggressive Thrash Metal at The Switch to Turn Off Mankind , but lacked innovation. In doing so, the group is oriented towards both US and German classic genre representatives. You do without a digitized sound.
