The band features members of Switched, Erase The Grey and Genitorturers, and was produced by Switched vocalist Ben Schigel. Their debut EP is diverse, with elements of metal, industrial and grunge. It's both melodic and dissonant, with interesting keyboard samples and distortion blended with the riffs. The songs are radio friendly, yet intense enough for your average metalhead.
