Crowd samples before going into a heavier direction while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the old school era of t he genre while the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clean playing can also be heard at times along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and a couple of tracks are also long and epic in length.
On this recording Dark Plague continue to expand on the melodic and old school style of black metal that they introduced on their previous release. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover social hypocrisy themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dark Plague and if you are a fan of melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Social Sickness" "Modern Lament" and "Useless". 8 out of 10.
