style
Brian Fischer-Giffin described in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal the music of the first two albums as melodic, Christian Thrash Metal, which uses a rough vocals. Jost Frommhold from metal.de described the style in his review of Welcome to the End of the World as “ groove- emphasized, highly catchy, elaborate and sustainable death lead ”. The intro of the first song brings back memories of Tyler Bates , while the rest is very groove-heavy and sounds influenced by newer slayers . War Machine is betoner groove-even, let similarities to Carcass see through and have a bit of King's X . Especially the vocals and the riffs would be reminiscent of Carcass in Heartwork times. Napier shows parallels to Quo Vadis on the album Day into Night . In other songs, the band often sounded like Bolt Thrower . The group makes use of guitar solos , but does not come close to bands like Death . Reini from stormbringer.at described the music as a mixture of Thrash and Death Metal, which, however, lacks a wealth of ideas, varied songwriting and an exciting song structure. The songs are mostly settled in the medium speed range, while the production has weaknesses. The vocals sound like a mixture of the bands Death and Destruction and Unleashed . In the song Waves of Disaster, the band makes use of clear vocals.
