The album opens with the crushing "Night Queen" which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's trademark sound is characterized by fast-paced riffs, relentless blast beats, and guttural growls that will make any metalhead headbang till their necks hurt.
The production on Necrophagous Rehearsals 2012 is intentionally lo-fi, giving the album an old-school feel that is reminiscent of classic black/death metal albums from the '90s. The guitars are raw and distorted, the drums sound like they were recorded in a basement, and the vocals are buried deep in the mix, adding to the overall atmosphere of the album.
The album is not without its standout tracks. "Charnel Reflections" is a standout track that features a killer guitar solo that will make any metalhead's heart race. "Dweller in the Abyss" is another highlight, with its crushing riffs and haunting melodies.
