They are considered metalcore and I quickly noticed a few similarities with the dredging guitars and throaty singing that resembled Slipknot. Ligeia spreads on a more thick set of hardcore screams and growls that differ from Corey Taylor, but the similarities are something to notice. In fact (pretty much) the only time you get your complete fill of enjoyable melodic guitars is when you feel the bridge coming and a solo is eminent, otherwise it stays on a mostly brutal riff trek.

   I would like to say it feels like other bands in the genre such as Lovehatehero, but with a more stiff and hardened sound. Sure there is still some velvety smooth Killswitch Engage like vocals but for the most part it is different. Not wanting to use the word "nu-metal-like" at first, I then decided it actually fits pretty well. Almost like a metalcore band with nu-metal roots. That being said, "Bad News" is filled with simple guitar work for the most part and a lot of their sound/ideas have been done before.
