Style and influences
The band's musical style draws from many genres of music including death metal,[1][2] doom metal,[2][6][7] stoner metal,[8][9] psychedelic music[10][11][12][13] and horror films and their soundtracks such as the music of John Carpenter's Halloween.[11][14][15] Some have also noted the influence of NWOBHM.
Lead vocalist Slasher Dave has cited Pagan Altar and Witchfinder General as some of his influences.[16] Due to the main overtones of the music, the band has dubbed themselves "Halloween metal".[3]
Lyrics
The band's lyrics deal with themes of witchcraft, halloween, and Satanism, and many of their songs’ lyrics are inspired by horror films and feature a significant amount of gore and references to sex and drugs.
