Bloodred Hourglass combines elements and influences from various different musical genres, main focus obviously being on metal. Fast drum patterns, thrashy riffage among big guitar walls, a lot of melodic atmosphere due to keyboards together with growling and screaming aggressive vocals are the main architects behind the sound of this five man band. Despite the variety of influences and different type of elements you can hear in their material, they feel their music is closest to be described as melodic death metal. Lyrical themes are focused on individuals experience of everyday life, as well as aspects of environmental issues.
