Style and Influences
The music on Phormula, including that of the bonus tracks on Rephormula, was mainly written by Giuliano Mogicato, then the band's main composer. The band's ideas and arrangements have been influenced by the raw sound of the older era Emperor and Limbonic Art, but incorporated dark, gothic, and avant-garde musical elements in the songs' structures. In a 2002 interview with webzine Chronicles of Chaos, Davide Tiso stated that Ephel Duath compositions are made in a "very spontaneous" way, and noting the band's complex arrangements, he added: "It just flows from within us. We love to have spontaneity with what we do, a lot of it comes from the initial guitar lines that act as a skeleton for the song at hand. We try to keep our ideas very open to every style of influence and bring that somehow into what we do."

“Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened, but of what men believe happened.”
