style
Fank Gaspari from Laut.de assigned the music on Pretest to progressive rock and made comparisons with bands like Sonic Youth and Tool . The songs are exhausting to listen to and are instrumental. The guitar riffs were distorted while the bass was tuned down. You can also hear influences from alternative rock , noise and jazz . Greg Prato from Allmusic assigned Psychic Maps to Technical Death Metal and compared the music to Mastodon , only without vocals.
