Unruh was born into a scene that the members of the band considered to be stagnant and uninteresting. They wanted to play intense, violent hardcore - but more than anything they wanted to play music that was interesting and powerful. They played music that is hard to classify into hardcore’s many sub-sub-genres, but under pressure I’d call it death metal-influenced hardcore, along similar lines as their contemporaries in bands like Suicide Nation and the Tho Ko Losi.
