Musical style

The album continues the atmospheric funeral doom the band has been playing since their first album Shades of.... It is described as "melancholic and atmospheric", with "morose guitar lines" and "tragic ambient keyboards". The death grunts are "masterfully delivered", the female vocals are "gelid" and "angelic".
