Coming back to the Necrophobic association, the influences of "Darkside" and its death/black metal texture are profound. The start of "Nocturnal Revelations," for instance, explodes into a frenzied black metal burst led by a lead tremolo riff that has Necrophobic written all over it. This cold, tumultuous style is done with the acumen needed to make this kind of thing work out without turning into a shell of redundancy. Ered sounds like its own support system while throwing in obvious nods to various bands and styles across the death/black metal spectrum, though that's sort of a given at this point. There are more melodic moments akin to Unanimated and Dissection crammed into the fury of blast beats and typical death and black metal riffs which manage to sound fresh despite having little in the way of originality.
