Trenchant�s overall sound is extremely heavy yet surpisingly clean and crisp. There is only very limited use of effects, besides a few very clever vocal overdubs, and this seems to be the main focus of their sound.. It�s as if their goal is to create the heaviest sound possible with just the standard guitarist, bassist, drummer and singer and that�s it. No fancy effects pedals, no complex guitar overdubs, no elaborate production techniques just the raw power generated by a few guys, a healthy heap of distortion and a few really loud amplifiers!
