Songs are quite long, each one has four or five different notes/chords sequences, that aren´t repeated in a strict or typical manner, but flowing naturally, in harmony with the steadily undisputed pace of the overall album.
Track structures are rather rocky, without giving technical skills a meaning by themselves, evidently there was no interest in underline the musical abilities, so that the songs achieve their own personality and spell, reflecting the author´s visions in a way far more successful than the previous albums.
And using the plastic of the CD/vynil as the canvas for this artistic expression.
The first song is a sound effect instrumental, there is a nice synthesizer instrumental (not as repetitive as on his newer material) in the middle of the album, a powerful guitar instrumental right after that, and another sound effect instrumental at the end of the album.
The sound of this album is basically the same as HvisLysetTarOss but with the grinding fuzzy guitars being a little bit thicker and more powerful and great insane screaming high pitched vocals.
HvisLysetTarOss (If the Light Takes Us)- This song moves at a constant fast rate throughout with minimal variation in the guitar playing and much use of repetition.
