Style
Alteration mainly features a mixture of progressive metal and jazz fusion, but contains many other diverse musical styles such as electronica and dark ambient.[1] Jason DeRon has stated in an interview that while he does not like the term "progressive metal", he feels that it is the closest description that can be used.[5]
