The band's lyrics deal with sexuality and eroticism, and are influenced by French writer Georges Bataille and psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche. The band's releases feature a death metal sound based on "slow to mid-tempo, grinding grooves, interspersed with up-tempo shifts, and a bellowing, enunciated growl."
The band's third studio album, Hole Below, was listed as number 19 on Pitchfork's list of "The Best Metal Albums of 2015."
