It quickly establishes that the album is different from the previous three the musical brutality has been cranked up, and the tortured screams that came straight from a Xasthur record are back.
The album starts with an intro track full of suspense that makes the listener wait in anticipation before blending into the first actual track in the album. And in turn, all the musical brutality from prior albums is now turned up to 11, with more noise samples blended in, more unhinged and tortured shrieks, and more demonic black metal riffs that sound modern and ancient simultaneously. This does not mean AN loses their raw and extreme approach to musical brutality that fans know and love (at least not yet), but instead the death metal elements give this album some much sought-after musical variety, like the groovy intro for "Shatter The Empyrean" or the inclusion of clean vocals. Hell is Empty is when the band starts to incorporate death metal riffs and melodies into their industrial blackened grindcore sound. All three have problems of their own (Codex Necro being too monotonous, Eschaton being too concert-friendly, etc.), but this marks the album where all problems have been rectified and all the best traits are implemented here.
