With their blend of grindcore and hardcore alongside both thrash and death metal elements "The Lament Configuration" by December utilises Devin Townsend's expertise as producer to create its distinctive musical expression. Through carefully assembled elements the album creates a focused disorder experience instead of a disorganised display. The album maintains focus through its complex riff structures while sustaining undying energy. Through the combination of heavy chugs and short bursts of melody each track develops an expressive tension which produces frustrating and exhilarating effects. Multiple styles created by their intricate music sequencing places each listening experience in a new space while guiding the music beyond conventional forms. Extreme metal enthusiasts will find their sonic endorphins skyrocketing through December's complex musical journey which ensures an intense background listening experience.
