The keyboard opens from silence and slowly increases the volume in Tormented Forever as suddenly you get killing riffing and a perfect opener to kick your guts out. The chorus is very simple and the lyrics are focused on some Bible passages from the book of Revelation chapter 9th. Arkley's voice can be described as a tormented and more slashing Mustaine with a deep darker feeling. The Charmer follows and it builds upon itself with a calm but dark and creepy narration to leave you with the impression that you are in the very wastelands after the destruction of the Earth. The guitar passage opens with some chords, the bass enters and then you get speed metal killer riffing. There is a middle part guitar driven where again the singing with some almost growls keep you interested in a song that clocks at almost 8 minutes. A lot of solos come up and then the song reaches the climax with slow parts and cool chords perfectly combining the leave-you-thinking atmosphere that surrounds the song. Forbidden Desires is the most killer song in the album. It has a relentless drumming pattern and you just get astonished by its fury. The riffing part is very thrashy, very much in the vein of Sodom's ergeant Orange' combining speed tempo parts with more technical and mid tempo parts.
