style

According to laut.de , the band was influenced by groups like Iggy & the Stooges , Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath and described the music as a mixture of grunge , doom metal and heavy metal . With the "creeping, whining and at the same time threateningly demanding singing" Black Moth reminds of groups like Coven and Electric Wizard . The Killing Jar was assigned to Psychedelic Rock. Frank Thiessies from Metal Hammer also remarked in his review of The Killing Jar that the very riff- heavy music sounds like Black Sabbath. The vocals also show parallels to Ozzy Osbourne , as well as Deborah Harry , Shirley Manson and L7 . The riffs sound like Tony Iommi . According to Thiessies, the devil-related topics are not meant seriously. The music is for people who would ask "how Coven would have sounded if they had signed Courtney Love as a singer at the time ". He assigned the music to stoner rock .
