==Musical Style==

−

Most of Tom Walker's songs can be described as 'heavy metal', although as mentioned above they lack the drum section which is a part of that genre. A few of the songs are more gentle, leaning towards a progressive rock style. Almost every single song includes a guitar solo, something which is typical of classic heavy metal. Another progressive element is the track lengths of some of the songs. The longest song to date, '~~Checkpoint~~', is 7:51 in length. Walker cites his biggest musical influences as being Iron Maiden and Metallica.

Tom Walker's music also draws influence from more modern acts and genres. Several songs include passages of screamed vocals, inspired by the screaming styles of Trivium's Matt Heafy and System of a Down's Daron Malakian, among others. Several of the songs also experiment with unusual time signatures and keys. The song 'Within the Cloud of War' is in 7/4, 5/4 and 4/4, whilst 'Experiment' features a guitar solo played in 5/4 time.
