Due to the alternation of female clear vocals and shouting , the style is similar to that of the German melodic death metal band Deadlock . In their music, the musicians work with classic style elements of metal and post-hardcore and combine them with the singing of front woman Nyves.

On the label debut Aspire , the music is described as a change from alternative rock to modern metal structures. However, elements of pop music can also be heard in the music, with the music also being reminiscent of Evanescence in phases . Is compared VENUES with groups such Marmozets and PVRIS .
