Sound Style
This is the last album in which the band shows melodic death metal elements, with long guitar solos, tremolo picking, acoustic interludes within the songs, keyboards and blast beats, including a more death growl-like vocal style of Brian Fair, more similar to Philip Labonte in Somber Eyes to the Sky. In the next albums, the band would compose shorter songs and screaming style vocals.
After this album, the band decided to leave the overall melodic death metal sound to find its own sound, "more inspired in hard rock and thrash metal", guitarist Matt Bachand states in an interview after releasing the band's next album, The Art of Balance.
