style

The band plays old school thrash metal, the music being based on classic bay area thrash metal, but with some modern sounds and influences from other genres. Her own style, which is also a mixture of bands Slayer and Kreator , is also clearly recognizable in crossover and hardcore influenced parts. In addition to the fast and aggressive Thrash Metal, which is also characterized by melodies in vocals and guitars, the band is particularly known for their energetic live shows and their young age.
