It is impossible to tag just one musical label to the band’s style, as it ranges across a wide spectrum, from slow to fast and aggressive, with the vocals alternating between clean, screaming, and growling. A truly powerful metal act! The album was mastered by King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque in his own Sonic Train Studios.
