The album makes use of groove and melody. Alternative Press said the band "found their sound by giving death metal that core touch, with an abundance of breakdowns, gang vocals and an inability to let up on the aggression."[8]
The title of track 4 is a quote from prominent environmentalist David Brower. The song's theme also matches Brower's opinion on how the Earth is dying and his concern about mankind disregarding mother nature.[citation needed]
