• Genre Mashup: Their sound is a mix of Nu Metal and Metalcore along with incorporating more experimental aspects from genres like Shoegazing, Djent and Industrial.
  • A Stranger To You goes even further by adding Techno, Post-Metal, Spoken word and Alternative R&B on top of all previous genres.
• Live Album: They released Audiotree from Nothing in 2023.
