Horror movie style keyboards start off the ep and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams and all of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them.
Elements of thrash and heavy metal are also added into some of the guitar riffing while one track also adds in some session work from Andy LaRocque the former guitarist of king Diamond and Death. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic yet old school style. most of the music sticks to a mid tempo direction, clean playing and spoken words are also added on the closing track.
The Diabolic Obsession plays a musical style that takes an occult form of black metal and mixes it with thrash and traditional metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Horror and Occultism themes.
In my opinion The Diabolic Obsession is a very great sounding occult and horror themed mixture of black, thrash and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Red House" and "Testament In Decay". 8 out of 10.
