style
Andrija “TheIslander” Petrovic from metal-temple.com wrote in his review of Evil Never Dies that this is a concept album that tells the story of the protagonist Wallace Green. Here the group plays Thrash Metal, which is based on the 1980s. The bass and drums sound energetic, while guitar solos are occasionally interspersed. The vocals are reminiscent of James Hetfield's , although the group as a whole does not sound like a Metallica copy. Dave Hodges from metal-observer.com assigned Sleepwalker to Heavy Metal, which was heavily influenced by various Thrash Metal styles and occasionally also Speed Metal . Sometimes the music doesn't fit into a specific category. Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets could be used as comparison albums, although the group avoided sounding exactly like Metallica. Occasionally the music is technically demanding or slightly progressive . Playing the bass is creative and the band makes use of tempo changes every now and then.
