Music genre

especially at the beginning, the band was essentially influenced by the Nu-Metal wave of the late 1990s. The first Demo Welcome in particular was reminiscent of Limp Bizkit , Deftones , Soulfly and Korn . The band itself describes their style as "Aiport Hardcore", an allusion to their hometown Schwechat, where the internationally known Vienna-Schwechat Airport is located. By this they understand a hardcore style that is more oriented towards the basic virtues of "straightforwardness, honesty, reliability, cohesion and respect" than towards musical criteria. The texts move between personal topics and social criticism, are usually formulated quite clearly, but also allow other interpretations. In particular on later albums there were more and more rock influences. The Hall of Fame also features ballads and pieces influenced by blues rock , as well as a piece performed in dialect , without the band forgetting their hardcore punk origins.
