Music
According to Greg Prato from Allmusic, there are so many different styles found in L'Autrichienne that it would be possible to fool the average listener into thinking each track was made by a different band; it shows influences ranging from indie rock to sludge metal. In the album there are songs with a style close to Black Sabbath's, such as "Blackpowder", hardcore punk tracks like "Thermidor", Melvins-esque metal slow pieces such as "Deficit", and doom metal songs such as "The Mountain" and "Procession a la Guillotine"; even quiet balladry can be found in the album. Amber Valentine uses many vocal techniques in the record.
