style
Lior "Steinmetal" Stein from metal-temple.com wrote in his review of Prophetic that it contained influences from early early Morbid Angel , Deicide , Immolation , Suffocation and as well as newer death metal bands like Psycroptic . The music is pure Death Metal without influences from Thrash Metal , with the group mainly oriented towards the early 1990s. In the songs there are solos , melodic tremolo - Picking and guttural and high vocals. The music is aggressive and mostly fast. Liam Frost-Camilleri from overdrive-mag.com also assigned A Death in the Darkness to Death Metal, although the songwriting has improved and the music is now more rabid. The oriental sounds of the previous album were still left on the album, but the band only sounded somewhat influenced by bands like Nile than they could be compared to them. The double bass passages have been reduced and now make room for crescendo elements. The vocals are more typical for hardcore punk than for death metal.
