Overview

The band made use of sound effects and cinematic excerpts in the recording of this album, as opposed to sampling other artist's songs.

It is characterized by its harsh hardcore vocal style and brutal, but often melodic and somewhat technical, guitar work. The lyrics can be described as typically hardcore, that is to say politically and socially aware in contrast to the fantasy imagery often employed by heavy metal bands.

gollark: You can get a rough high-level overview of it, but we've done that with brains.
gollark: They have billions of transistors in them, imaging them is hard itself, nobody actually knows how all the parts work, and they're designed with computerized design tools such that nobody knows what's going on with all the individual transistors either.
gollark: You can't really dissect a modern CPU and work out how it works, though.
