style

According to Gunnar Sauermann from Metal Hammer “Unearthly Trance partly combine the leaden heaviness of Doom with the aggressive force of Hardcore and a heap of psychedelic elements” on the album The Trident . The guttural vocals are extremely aggressive for a Doom Metal band. Sauermann drew comparisons to groups like Sunn O))), Neurosis and High on Fire . According to Robert Müller from Metal Hammer , the band on Electrocution is not a copy of Black Sabbath , but rather a mixture of groups like The Melvins , High on Fire and a little Bathory . On album V, according to Melanie Aschenbrenner from Metal Hammer, the band play a slow mixture of Sludge and Doom Metal, which sounds intentionally monotonous after the eighth song at the latest.
