"By the Blessing of Satan" presents a raw and unrefined black metal sound that embodies the genre's darker aesthetics. The production is deliberately lo-fi, enhancing the grim atmosphere with a palpable sense of urgency. Gritty guitar riffs intertwine with blast beat drumming, creating a relentless energy that drives tracks like "Fist of the Satanist" and "Black Metal Baptism." The use of atmospheric elements, such as haunting vocal layers and eerie synths, adds depth to the sonic landscape, particularly in "Sieluni Saatanan vihasta roihuten." The tempos fluctuate between frenetic bursts and slower, more ominous passages, allowing for dynamic shifts that keep the listener engaged. Overall, the album's distinctive texture lies in its combination of raw aggression and darkly atmospheric moments.
