Peter Schmidt of the Nuclear Blast Magazine music arranged on regression to the grindcore to. The singing is nerve-wracking because it is screeched or grunted. In the socially critical texts, the band criticizes “the decline and loss of values ​​in one's own society”. The band also occasionally use breaks . Schmidt recommended the music to fans of Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index and Rotten Sound . Daniel Laich from stormbringer.at also assigned the band to Grindcore in his review of the album, with the emphasis on “genre-typical, crushing bass”. The texts would deal with “gloomy visions of the future of the collapse of state structures, civil war and the degeneration of humanity”. However, the singing is guttural and incomprehensible.

The group process melodies from Death Metal with the socially critical lyrics and blastbeats of Grindcore.
