"Benighted" showcases a raw and aggressive sound typical of late '90s death metal. The production is gritty, emphasizing the brutal instrumentation with a thick guitar tone that delivers relentless riffs and intricate solos. The drumming is fast-paced and dynamic, featuring blast beats that drive the energy throughout the album. Tracks like "Werewolf's Nightmare" and "Infernal Killings" highlight a blend of tempo shifts, oscillating between furious speed and crushing breakdowns. The vocal delivery is guttural and intense, adding to the overall dark atmosphere. Texturally, the album combines melodic elements with dissonant chords, creating a haunting yet powerful sonic landscape that immerses the listener in its nightmarish themes.
