Nostromo could be justifiably likened to Mastodon or The Sword as a record that bridges heavy, progressive and stoner metal. The old school flavor of the solos and shouted vocals assimilates the '80s, while the twisting rhythms and (sometimes) dynamic riffs touch on prog. The largest piece of this pie is the stoner influence which is most obvious through the strong guitar orientation in both the mix and thick, meaty tones utilized. Elden also occasionally strays towards doom, such as in the introduction to "Creature Follows," which could have been lifted from one of the big American doom acts of the day, such as Khemmis.
