The album presents a shift in sound for the band, taking influence from the nu-metal of Korn, Slipknot, and System of a Down,{{Cite web |last=Enis |first=Eli |date=February 3, 2020 |title=Orthodox: Inside Rising Metal Stars' "Love Story About Hatred" |url=https://www.revolvermag.com/music/orthodox-inside-rising-metal-stars-love-story-about-hatred |access-date=March 7, 2024 |website=Revolver Magazine}} instead of the typical hardcore sound on At the End of My Wit and Give Me a Reason. This is characterized in Adam Easterling's vocal style and drumming and Williams's guitar work on songs like "The Anticipation", "Panic", and "Second Best". The album also has four featured vocals, from Zachary Hatfield of Left Behind,{{Cite web |title=Zachary Hatfield Discography {{!}} Discogs |url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/4275366-Zachary-Hatfield |access-date=March 7, 2024 |website=Discogs}} Vincent Void (formerly of Darke Complex, currently in Omerta),{{Cite web |last=David |first=Maximo |date=January 12, 2023 |title=Vincente Void Part I: From Darke Complex to Omerta |url=https://boolintunes.com/interviews/vincente-void-part-i-from-darke-complex-to-omerta/ |access-date=March 7, 2024 |website=Boolin Tunes}} and Bryan Garris and Isaac Hale from Knocked Loose.
