style
According to the band biography on sempiternaldeathreign.com , the band was initially influenced by groups like Venom , Exodus , Metallica , Slayer , Destruction , Kreator , Sodom , Massacre , Celtic Frost , Cryptic Slaughter , Post Mortem , Candlemass and Black Sabbath . Later the band was influenced by albums like Psalm 9 by Trouble , Seven Churches by Possessed , Hymn to Abramelin by Messiah and Scum by Napalm Death . Especially because of Death's Scream Bloody Gore , the band decided on Death Metal . In addition, Victor van Drie liked slower bands like Swans and Gore and thus this influence was also processed. The band describes itself as one of the first Death Doom bands on the underground scene. According to Jon Kristiansen in the book Metalion: The Slayer Mag Diaries , the band plays a mixture of death metal and grindcore on Creepshow . Influences of Death and Napalm Death can be heard. According to Khlysty from globaldomination.se , the band plays Winter- themed Death Doom on The Spooky Gloom . The band play dirty, fast and ugly Death Metal, which is interrupted by slow, hardly grooving passages. In the songs, the guttural singing is usually in the foreground.
