Musical style
The EP's styles have been described as screamo,[2] emo[7] and melodic metalcore.[7] Matt Whelihan of Punknews.org described the sound as "metal-influenced screamo" and compared the album's guitarwork to Avenged Sevenfold, while likening the album's hooks to the "arena-screamo" of Hawthorne Heights and Underoath. He also described Escape the Fate as "Atreyu with a Drive-Thru Records singer".[7]
