style

According to Brian Giffin in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal , the band is one of the leading Australian hardcore punk bands. The music sounds like a mixture of Slayer and Minor Threat . This crossover is closer to Thrash Metal than to other groups like Parkway Drive or other Metalcore bands. Justin Donnelly of themetalforge.com found in his review of the album Disturb the Hive that metallic hardcore punk can be heard on it, with the group turning more towards metal and becoming more aggressive with each album. The group uses Thrash Metal riffs , among other things , while the vocals sound biting. The fastest song on the album, Burning Black , or the songs Disturbing the Hive , Hammer , Crashing Down and Scars , were also heavily influenced by Thrash Metal. Occasionally, you also use groovy passages. The split-release with Ringworm continues where Disturb the Hive left off, according to restassuredzine.com . Then the music of Mindsnare was strongly influenced by Thrash Metal, whereby the groove-oriented guitar playing is also characteristic.
