The band's sound features "a psychedelic take on classic death metal"[3] and melds "technicality with tectonic riffs, cavernous vocals and eerie, Dodsengel-like moments of caustic stillness."[4] On the band's style, Stereogum's Aaron Lariviere wrote: "Screaming leads cut a swath through the churn of atonal rhythm guitars, blending the bright melodicism of late-period Death with the alien tones of Morbid Angel circa Domination."[2] The band's lyrics mainly deal with topics such as space and death.[3]
