style

Matthias Salomon from bloodchamber.de wrote in his review of Volatile Waters that you can hear pure and pure Death Metal on it. However, he found that it sounded like something went wrong in the production, because the music is bass-heavy and there is too little treble, which creates a blurry overall sound. The “powerful riffs and [the] groovy rhythms” are characteristic of the album . However, it is not for people who like "precise instruments and clearly defined growls and screams ". Overall, they go towards classic Death Metal of the 1990s, with the use of keyboards being a more modern element. Marcos "The Jungle Guy" from metal-temple.com also reviewed the album. Then Death Metal can be heard, which is not only fast and aggressive, but also contains melodic passages. The guitars sound typical of Finnish Death Metal, but would also process influences from Swedish representatives. The bass and the drums are technically demanding, the vocals consist of growling.
