style

According to the band biography on punishment18records.com, it was initially a hardcore punk band that was influenced by Japanese groups such as Outo , SOB , Zouo and Mobs, as well as by European bands such as Ripcord and Balthasar Gerards Kommando . aversionline.com described the music on A Road to a Brilliant Future as a crossover of hardcore punk and thrash metal . The music is rawer, faster and a bit more typical of the genre than that of Urban Head Raw . In the songs, the group processed a few solos , Thrash Metal rhythms and shouts of medium intensity. The texts are often socio-political comments or deal with personal problems, but without going into detail. Ollie Fröhlich from Ox-Fanzine also described the album Proof of the Truth as a crossover of hardcore punk and thrash metal. The band then sounds as if they had stopped musically at the end of the 1980s, and sounded a lot like Attitude Adjustment or Sacred Reich . The album features angry guitar riffs , fast and simple drumming and a “puked singer” who sounds like a brother of James Hetfield . Stephanie Hensley from metal-temple.com described An Elegy for Depletion as a mixture of hardcore punk and thrash metal that is fast, aggressive and brutal. The vocals growled and show similarities to James Hetfield, with the lyrics in Japanese . Overall, the album is suitable for fans of DRI , early Metallica , Municipal Waste and Sepultura .
