In "Of Fracture And Failure", ULCERATE employs expansive walls of dissonance and intense riffs to craft an album that is both devastating and surprisingly melodic. The riffing on this record occupies a space between the dense soundscapes of Immolation and the unconventional technicality of Gorguts, yet it never comes across as merely imitative of these influences. The album's immense sound is primarily due to the intricate and busy nature of the guitar work, where the low-end chugging and tremolo picking are complemented by sustained higher-pitched notes and intricate riffs.
