The influence of the classic groups who seeded this style are almost palpable, especially Black Sabbath, whose doom metal roots are tangled in the atmosphere. Bedemon operates under an oppressive and murky umbrella, a stranger's hard and unforeseen punch in the gut. These songs stretch a wide gamut, but seldom deviate from the negative and shadowy Bedemon aura prowling the riffs and haunting the lyrics. You can nearly touch the doomy influence of Black Sabbath dripping through the dense, crawling rhythms and Bobby Liebling's vocals. Different dynamics of Bedemon's style differentiate the doom metal template, showing influences tipping the scales in favor of 70s rock. There is a definite presence of accessibility lingering in the haze, as some tracks ("Time Bomb," "Into the Grave") shed the murk for a more manageable frame of mind.

The band's chemistry exploring the compilation's multiple states is a marvel, really, as the rhythm section is profound between Liebling's wailing and the thick riffs rolling out of the abyss. Bass lines and drum fills bridging the gap with groove are everywhere, and augment the sheer might of Bedemon's efforts. The band sounds heavier than an anvil on your toes lurching through the driving bulldozer of doom that is "Drive Me to the Grave" and the rhythmic power of "Touch the Sky," though "Into the Grave" sticks out as one of the compilation's finest tracks as well. Bobby's lyrical themes explore death, anti-religion, horror, tough life-the goods of doom. These dark words are brilliant in the surrounding, serving as the hot fudge on the doom sundae.
