Musical style
editThe main guitar riff from "I, Diablo" originally appeared in "Prayer", an early Nothingface song from their 1994 demo Braid.[5] The song "Breathe Out" had also been performed earlier in 1997, while the band were touring in support of their debut Pacifier. The album's sound has been compared in the media to bands such as Clutch,[6] Helmet[6] and Pantera,[6] unlike their debut Pacifier, which mainly drew comparisons to the band Korn.
