style
Brian Giffin assigned the band in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal to Groove and Thrash Metal. According to thethrashmetalguide.com , the band plays modern Thrash Metal, in which fast and groovy passages would alternate. The group also occasionally uses hooks , which are a bit technically demanding. The vocals are mostly deep and sound like typical Death Metal and are only occasionally interrupted by higher, rough vocals.
