Musical style


The album merges the styles of hardcore punk and heavy metal.[4][11] It has been categorised as genres such as metalcore,[2][12] heavy hardcore[1][13] and sludgecore.[12] It often borders the sounds of Swedish death metal[14][12] and groove metal.[2]

Kris Pugh of Distorted Sound magazine described it as putting the band "at the apex of modern hardcore".[15] In an article for Kerrang!, Dan Slessor says that in comparison to the band's previous album: "It’s more hardcore, more metal, there are more fast parts, more breakdowns, more malice, more unease and, perhaps most importantly, more energy".[4] In an article for New Noise magazine, Caleb R Newton said that "There is not a single moment on A Different Shade of Blue that’s not packed to the brim with musical (and thematic!) brutality".[16] However, Connor Atkinson for Exclaim! described "Mistakes Like Fractures" as "overtly catchy".[3]
