Musical Style and Structure
In Fear and Faith are essentially a post-hardcore band, but perform the genre with a tied-in influence of metal and electronica. The group is primarily influenced by alternative rock, emo, hardcore and heavy metal genres. Bands such as Circa Survive, At the Drive-In, Sick of It All, Sepultura and Pantera have been said to be their main influences. Music journalist, Andrew Leahy documented In Fear and Faith's sound as "a blend of furious instrumentation, electronic flourishes and screamo vocals" along with mentioning embracement of heavy metal while complimenting their hybrid sound of being the case why the group "were signed so quickly" and "wasted little time" doing so.
In Fear and Faith songs are usually - on average - three minutes in time length, but their larger and more-known songs such as "Live Love Die" and "The Taste of Regret" lead into four minutes of length. The main songwriters have primarily always been Ramin and Mehdi Nirromand, Tyler McElhaney and Scott Barnes. Bassist, McElhaney has commented on the band's guitar tunings stating that while the tunings on Your World on Fire and Voyage would be set to the same drop throughout, Imperial features different tunings on several different songs to add "depth" regardless of the difficulty of this for live performances.

Famous quotes containing the words musical, style and/or structure:
“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”

—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
