Unlike the immediate brutal onslaught that were present on previous offerings,
Manticore starts off rather slowly, with clean guitar lines setting a haunting atmosphere before a doom-paced riff greets the listener.
The band seems to have followed in the path of bands like Archgoat on Heavenly Vulva,
choosing an extremely raw sound on Behold the Ascension of the Execrated (even more so than on Bowels of the Holy Anoint Us in Evil), most evident on the gritty guitar tone,
sounding like a chainsaw grinding against the ear drums of the listener, and this seems to have come about with the inclusion of Naberius on guitars this time.
