Frank Stoever described the music on Assault on Aerie in Voices from the Darkside as usual, played on the usual kind of black metal. The song structures are simple, some epic sounding atmosphere of the album Wolf Age is produced by the simple song structures that switch between slow and fast passages and by the cries and separated by piano and flute passages, subtle keyboards, a dark but clear, melodious voice Keyboards and supplemented. Barbarian Wrath, the clothing label Nazgul 's Eyrie Productions, compared with the style of " Hellhammer on Speed". Also the change between clear, but deeper mixed singing with individual songs and a dominant high screaming voice in the style of ( early ) Burzum and Darkthrone to the songs make atmospheric.

The members of the band indicate no one to worship except themselves. Your beliefs are greatly inspired by Aleister Crowley's Liber AL vel Legis. Crowley and Gregory A. Gregory, founder of the Fraternity of Saturn, is thanked in the booklet of the album for their inspiration.
