***The music is very much in the extreme metal landscape but has its roots in the original thrash metal from early eighties, combined with some old school BM vibes.

***V-Rex states that he would like to take his music more away from the 'Black Metal' monicker and rather have people focus on the sole extreme musical variation wich is what this music is all about. -'No Labels'-

***Eventhough Arvas may front a Satanic and/or Anti - Religious theme image vice, does NOT automatically label Arvas as a Black Metal outfit nowadays.



***(-However, Arvas may be labelled as to what ever suits the listener... )

As previously stated:
The music is a fine mix of different genres in the extreme metal; Thrash, Death and Black Metal is perfectly put togheter as one in a sonic delight of the pure intense and the most honest approach.

''It is not about originality but having the balls to re new and explore the musical landscape we are working in regardless of genre...
