style

Loss are mostly attributed to Funeral Doom. The group is sometimes compared to Anathema , Katatonia , While Heaven Wept and Warning . According to Legacy, the vocals are “softly growled to whispered”. Playing the guitar shows "slight borrowings from post-rock " and has a high degree of independence. The riffing is this melodic moments, according stereokiller.com opposite and "is to fight oppressive to the listener." Drumming, on the other hand, is described as "subtle and reserved".
