Into the moat is representative of the Mathcore genre. At first impression, their music is merely chaotic noise. Upon further listening, their technical musicianship comes to the fore. Some of their compositions recall Stravinsky in that they appear almost primitive with atonal notation and rapid rythmic changes. Moreover, their music often paints a "tone picture" as Mussorgsky's thematic music does. Their songs are not, however, tone poems in the true sense of the word, but can be likened to Disney's use of Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" and Mussorgsky's "St. Johns' Night on Bare Mountain" (more commonly known as "Night on Bald Mountain") in the film Fantasia. As with the Fantasia's soundtrack supporting clashing dinosaurs and dancing demons, ITM's compostions paint an unpredictably brutal, changing dynamic in an unworldly landscape. Employing guttearl lyrics, the agonizing screams of soldiers dying in combat are forced into the mind's eye as the instruments inject a thematic mood to those imagined visuals. The use of "New Noise" by Refused to set a menacing mood for an impending battle of high school football teams in the film "Friday Night Lights" is a contemporary approach to this same soundtrack concept.
ITM have released two albums, the latest on Metal Blade, and have a music video featured on MTV's Headbanger's Ball as well as Fuse TV's Metal Assylum. These musicians, all either 20 or 21 as of this writing, have a profound grasp of their instruments and are already mentioned in some circles as world class song crafters, arrangers, and musicians in their chosen genre.
