Urban Cancer is black metal with death metal and melodic death metal influences. The usual black metal guitar style is there along with atmospheric keyboards and blast beats galore. Nefastus Dies also injects the aforementioned death metal, which adds groove and melody to the proceedings.
Ill-Fate (formerly of Ion Dissonance) is the band's vocalist, and his style ranges from low pitched death metal growls to high pitched black metal shrieks. He provides quite a bit of variety with his different styles and inflections. Urban Cancer is strongest on the four songs that are four and five minutes long. The other three are a lot longer, and lose a lot of momentum and quickly become repetitive and forgettable.
