This style wasn't explored by many bands in the late 1990s,[1] and was part of their sound during the 2000s, until the release of Throned in Blood in 2010.

AllMusic[1]

Steve Huey for AllMusic said that the album overall "draws on the grungy noise of early alternative metal...and the loud, trashy sometimes industrial-tinged scuzz rock that preceded it."[1] Craig Regala for Lollipop Magazine called the album an "interesting combination of sludgy and grungy riffs smut backed by real straight-up, small-kit drumming and a focus on rough-cut songs."[5]
