style

According to Melanie Aschenbrenner from Metal Hammer, the group play on Guiltless classic, heavy Doom Metal, with extremely slow played riffs comparable to the works of Yob. The singing is "ugly distorted". According to Rock Hard's Patrick Schmidt, the band play a mix of Sludge and Doom Metal. The electric guitars on From All Purity have a grinding sound, while the screaming and screeching sounds bloodcurdling. In an interview with Schmidt, Will Lindsay named groups and artists such as Black Flag , Bill Steer , Randy Rhoads , Tony Iommi , Chuck Schuldiner , Adam Nathanson and Hank Williams as influences.
