Musical style
Allmusic praised the band's debut album that "combines death metal brutality with a surprising dose of melody and technical skill". Blabbermouth stated about Maniacal Miscreation: "It is brutal death metal (BDM) with personality and compositional diversity. (...) Budding BDM acts looking to avoid getting lost in the herd should take careful notes when listening to this one."Members
