[edit] Musical style
The End of All Things to Come derives influence from multiple styles, including death metal,[2] progressive rock,[2] jazz fusion[2] and classic rock.[2]
Isolation provided inspiration for the album's songwriting.[3] The album expanded upon the sound of L.D. 50 with a wider range of riffs, tempos, moods and vocalization.[2]
[edit] Album artwork
With the creation of the album's artwork, Mudvayne hoped to create the band's "black album".[4]
