Suld makes total use of throat singing in their vocals. Aside from this, they have a resident morin khuur player; they play a variety of folk instruments live like the yatga, doshpuluur, aman khuur, and tsuur. The way their extensive use of these instruments and folk melodies floats in their overall sound is well complemented by their style of heavy metal and thrash — moderate, with effective pounding hooks nonetheless.
