Achieving this involves using distortion and overdrive pedals to craft their signature gritty tones, while reverb effects add an expansive, haunting quality. Their guitar work often features layered, feedback-driven sounds that evoke a sense of urgency and rawness. The rhythm section lays down a pounding, relentless drive, with the bass providing a deep, resonant foundation that complements the swirling chaos of the guitars.
