The technical guitar work and vocals of Hart Bachmeir are really at the heart of what makes Disciples of Power stand out but none of it would work so well if he hadn't had such a tight chemistry with drummer Dean Reif (Warmarch). Reif was basically doubly impressive with each successive release and although some of the material here is thrash standard he breaks out some a wide range of tricks in unison with Bachmeir throughout. Much of what you hear on the thrash leaning riffs of 'Powertrap' was developed with Maurice Williams who could also be heard on the band's second and third demos previous to the full-length, though it seems as the band wanted to work towards more complex and death metal style Bachmeir/Reif would take over all of the songwriting and performances thereafter.
