Unlike most death/doom bands, their music might be difficult to sort to either of the two most common directions of the genre (the audience friendlier romance based, mainly melancholic direction, or the less popular, rough, classic form of death/doom). It does include some features from both, since melancholy and melodic themes having determining role, and very heavy approach is also usual, especially alongside the vocal parts. Funeral doom influences are significant, and in this mixed form the demo might keep reminding to Esoteric. However, Assumption didn't go too deep into elemental heaviness, and the combination of the mentioned features are not resulting something such complex, and endlessly desperate feeling like Esoteric does. The way how the band composed their songs, sounds more careful, that could have happened for two possible reasons. They could have focused more on keeping some balance, cause balance they've found the most reasonable tool to frame together various influences. Or in their early, still kinda experimenting period they just didn't want to go too far into any specific directions. The main impression is therefore softer and more moderate compared to most death/doom of funeral doom bands, but the mentioned balance also generates some elegance, that refuses to merge too deep into the dirty filth of depressive depths.
