Musical style

Millennium showcases a more technical approach to death metal than on their previous release, Imperial Doom. The guitar work in particular is massively improved from their debut. It features many dynamic changes including quick jumps from tremolo picking to lightning fast playing of power chords, and is perceived by many to be a landmark in technical death metal.
