style
David Perri, in The Collector's Guide of Heavy Metal Volume 4: The '00s, described the music on Left in Kowloon as a mixture of death metal and extreme metalcore. However, the album seemed more aggressive at the time, as a few years many other bands had played in at least a similar aggressive way. However, the music is far from a bad version of metalcore or deathcore . According to Anzo Sadoni from Metal Hammer , the band on Left in Kowloon plays a hard and nasty mix of hardcore punk, grindcore and metalcore. In addition to a few quiet, slow moments, there is almost only unstructured noise to be heard.
