With Desolate Set The Sun has been stated to incorporate elements of post-hardcore,[1][2][3][4] metalcore,[1][2][5] electronicore,[1][2] deathcore,[1] hardcore punk[1][2] and southern hardcore[2] leading to them being compared to the likes of Wage War,[1] August Burns Red[1] Bring Me the Horizon,[1] Chelsea Grin[1] and Whitechapel.[1]

Father Said has been praised for its infection hooks[1] and compared to Bring Me the Horizon's Happy Song,[1] whereas The Prince has been called deathcore and praised for being "maintaining its heaviness, even when melodic".[1]

Additionally, the band have been able to mature their sound by pushing its synths into the background, improving lead guitar work and relying less on chugging.[1]
