The group processed elements from groups such as Fates Warning , Marillion and Pain of Salvation . The songs consist of dark arrangements and emotional lyrics. In addition, you rely on polyrhythmics and odd time indications . Danny Mayo of hairlessheartherald.co.uk described the album as dark progressive metal with odd time signatures and melodic electric guitars. He heard influences from Dream Theater , late Rush and Queensrÿche .
