style
According to Brian Giffin in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal , Eskhaton is a studio project that specializes in death metal. Julián "Suffocated" Núñez from voicesfromthedarkside.de described the music by Nihilgoety as dark, oppressive brutal death metal , with oppressive electric guitars and deep vocals. There are parallels to Incantation , Immolation and all the 1990s bands that end in "-ation" and put more emphasis on riffs . Nuclear Winter Records, the label on which the album was released, belongs to a member of the Dead Congregation group , and Eskhaton is also going in a musically similar direction. The difference between Eskhaton and this band, or a group like Ignivomous , is the subliminal use of melodies, harmonies and hooklines in the otherwise chaotic songs. Falk from Metal.de assigned Worship Death to Black and Brutal Death Metal. The album made a confusing and partly structureless impression on him, using monotonous instrumentation and screams . He summarized that it affects him as otherwise inexperienced listeners would perceive metal . The impression arises, however, not through an extreme way of playing, since there are far more extreme groups in both genres, but through a "muddy" sound, meaningless and undynamic guitar motifs, the drumming, which usually plays at the same speed and without real blast beats, as well as monotonous Singing. The music lacks atmosphere, standard riffs are played, there are “pseudo-chaotic” solos and drums, of which one only hears the snare and hardly the bass drum . Pagan Hel from ramzine.co.uk assigned the group to Death Metal, whereby the songs would be very similar and they would mostly be played at the same speed. The music is kept aggressive, the singing consists of growling .
