style

Sven Lattemann from Metal.de wrote in his review of Blood. Stone. Sun. Down. that the band was influenced by groups like Katatonia , Shape of Despair and early Anathema . In good moments the album offers melancholic Doom Metal with atmospheric keyboard sounds and borrowings from post-rock ; in not so good it is more ordinary Death Doom with "forced dreaminess" and predictable structures. Björn Backes from Powermetal.de also reviewed the album and noted that the band fluctuated "between the very old LACUNA COIL epics, SWALLOW THE SUN melancholy and many a tone that PARADISE LOST also liked to release two and a half decades ago", however, the group plays much slower. Overall, he assigned the album to the Epic Doom . For Ricardo Campos from voicesfromthedarkside.de the band plays heavy, atmospheric and depressive metal on the album , which is slow, very melodic and partly minimalistic. The vocals fluctuate between guttural , typical for Death Doom, and female clear vocals. However, only occasionally does the group move into melodic Death Doom areas. Sometimes the group also work in influences from rock music of the 1970s. Overall, he was reminded of Tiamat , Amorphis, and Anathema.
