Heavy Planet.net describes the band's sound as "Blending Candlemass wail with well placed death growls, Destroyer of Light bridge the gap between traditional metal and the more extreme sub genres." Referring to the song "Forbidden Zombi Ritual," Doomantia.com ghoulishly exclaims, "I was seriously expecting to look off my balcony and see the dead rising from the ground ready to chew on flesh!" "This is the perfect Sludge/Stoner/Doom Metal album for Halloween," positively states The Sludgelord. Erik Bredthauer created a Tales From the Crypt style animated video for the single "Forbidden Zombi Ritual" taken from Destroyer of Light's Bizarre Tales Vol. 2 EP. GoHERE to watch the video.
