Music style and lyrics

The style of music has been labeled Industrial Black Metal by Mysticum, Full Moon Productions, and Peaceville Records. Apart from the drum computer (and the keyboards typical of Black Metal) there are no electronic elements and no distorted voices, no sequencers or other elements from industrial metal .

The drum machine is pretty primitive, the blast beats were "obviously [...] made with something with binary code as DNS ". Jeff Treppel from Decibel Magazine compared the sound of the keyboard to A Flock of Seagulls and Crypt of Fear to Ministry . He associated Mysticum's alignment with the industrial apocalypse .

reception

The German magazine Rock Hard participated in the Streams of Inferno in his list 250 black metal albums that you should know on. Decibel Magazine's Treppel wrote that the band should have gotten much bigger than they eventually got, and points to their support from Euronymous. The band invented Industrial Black Metal "quite single-handedly" and their influence is still palpable. Based on the title of the nine-inch-nails album Pretty Hate Machine , he ended his review with the sentence: "This isn't a pretty hate machine - it's a pretty ugly hate machine." Merlin from the British Metal Hammer described the album as a classic. Spyros Stasis from Metal-Temple.com also emphasizes the influence of the album.
