The band played crust punk with some thrash/death metal influences, so that already suspects high intensity. Even though this mix might seem unusual, it sounds well fitting together. The aggressive intensiveness of crust leads the music, but because thrash themes are often completing the crusty rawness and making it more diverse, so it never gets monotonous. They had a female vocalist who really did her job well, and had essential role in creating the basic aggressive tone. Death metal themes occasionally showing up by turning the main view heavier, and a second vocalist frequently assisting with deep growls. Even though the demos are pretty raw, they're still way more diverse than how it could be expected from ordinary crust or thrash/death bands. There are a lot of possibilites and simple, but very great themes getting introduced, and it really could plant deep curiosity in the listener, how the whole thing would sound as a studio record and with good production. "Stench of Death" had a bit better quality and it was louder too, might help to imagine what if... Even though the name suspects Bolt Thrower influence, but this is easily getting forgotten while listening, cause their style was way different. With time it shows up for real, but unexpectedly already, in the form of a very familiar starting riff. In general their music was so unified, that not many might think much about the source of their influences. It's the same way compatible with the fans of crust punk and thrashing death too.
