Musical style and lyrical themes
Influences
Much of the band is influenced by European metal, particularly Swedish death metal. In 2005, original drummer Matt Kuykendall stated that the band is influenced by a large number of groups, including Opeth, Cannibal Corpse, At the Gates, Dying Fetus, Judas Priest, Blood Has Been Shed, Hatebreed, The Beatles, Journey, Michael Jackson, Queen, The Police and many others.
Lyrics
The band's lyrics consist of several different themes, including politics, such as government control, fascism, corporate control, and organised religion. For example, the song 'Black Gold Reign' from Awaken the Dreamers references countries around the world adopting oil as the main source of currency. A majority of their songs are politically based. Although rare, the band wrote a few songs on personal subjects such as the song 'In This Life of Pain' from the album This Is Where It Ends, and the song 'Deconstruction,' from the album Hate, Malice, Revenge, which was written about original vocalist Craig Betit's ex-girlfriend.
