style
The band played post-hardcore , the sound of which was influenced by well-known acts such as Killswitch Engage , The Amity Affliction and Parkway Drive . The use of keyboards gives the sound a more electronic sound. This is in turn with bands like Attack Attack! Compare , I See Stars and Asking Alexandria . The mixture of post-hardcore or metalcore with electronic music is referred to in the scene as trancecore .
With the departure of keyboard player Bec Geldons, the band renounced the use of electronic influences and approached a harder sounding sound on the album, which is strongly oriented towards metalcore .
