As highlighted by HeadBangers LifeStyle, the band's instrumentation is both organic and dynamic, with each member contributing to the album's cohesive sound. The publication notes the "heavy drum and throbbing bass" that propel the music, complemented by "nasty guitars" and Craft's commanding vocals.
