For most listeners, the core of Pazuzu can be expressed as an Autopsy-inspired take on grindcore, with the slower doomy riffs like the tug of a scalpel through flesh alternating with bounding hardcore riffs much as the Bay Area band applied, but with elements of black metal and doom metal filtered in.

Hanging out on the edge of the thrash genre with MOD and SOD, the Mentors represented the side of thrash that took thematically after punk; most thrash either placed metal riffs in punk songs (Cryptic Slaughter, Suicidal Tendencies, Fearless Iranians From Hell) or punk riffs in metal songs (DRI, Dead Horse) and took after one of the two thematically, but the Mentors kept the party and sleaze side of punk alive.

This split album showcases high intensity grindcore and old school death metal with a speed metal pace, with Brain Corrosion demonstrating an inventive approach toward varying conventional grindcore patterns and working in touches of melody, while Ripped to Shreds sounds like Nunslaughter executed by Slaughter Lord, using a high-energy approach to a crossover between traditional heavy metal and fast death metal.

Some would compare this to grindcore with a touch of death metal, but it sounds more like mid-period Impaled Nazarene (Latex Cult era) mixed with a B+ level Autopsy clone, and uses this simple formula to make three-part songs: a verse riff, chorus riff, and a more melodic transition to keep an air of mystery.

Welcome to the territory created by Blood, Impetigo, and Repulsion where grindcore takes on darker themes, outside of the daylight world of politics and personal sentiment, seeming to pursue more of the occult vein of death metal. Abatuar sounds like early Napalm Death, Blood, and Total Death era Darkthrone blended.

Despite appearing to be from the Carcass school of grind, this band contains more death metal and modern metal than 1980s grind, although it mixes in a fair amount of bounding, aggressive grindcore from the Repulsion, Terrorizer, and Napalm Death early 1990s model. Nonetheless this band possesses its own style.
