style
VR from metal-temple.com wrote in his review of Origin that the band is inspired by groups like Children of Bodom and Symmetry. Overall, the band is assigned to Melodic Death Metal, whereby the vocals are mostly guttural and only occasionally clear. You can also assign the group to modern metal and find fans in groups like Children of Bodom or Stratovarius . Gustavo Scuderi from theheadbangingmoose.wordpress.com also reviewed the album and described the music as "Modern Melodic Metal". Melodic Death Metal can also be heard, with the vocals consisting of growls and a little clear vocals. In the songs, the group also process a few influences from metalcore . In the compositions it becomes clear how much the members are fans of futuristic keyboard sounds. Occasionally the group also work progressive sounds into their songs. Mosh from moshville.co.uk said about the album that the term Melodic Death Metal was appropriate for it, because on the one hand the genre-typical keyboards are processed, on the other hand the vocals consist of the genre-typical growls. Overall, he compared the group to Soilwork , but more keyboards can be heard.
