Vomiturition's death metal sounds original. They have mixed American death metal, whatever death metal, Disgrace-esque deathrock and a bit of hardcore stuff, plus Amorphis's 'The Karelian Istmus' (1993) style sound.

Playing is cool, raw and professional. Kai Hahto (Rotten Sound, Enochian Crescent etc.) beats the hell out of his drumkit, but tomdrums' sound sucks: It's just thin, echoing and shite! Guitar riffing is sometimes very aggressive, but some riffs are just ugly (maybe that's the point?!) and boring. Mika Aalto also plays in Rotten Sound. Lower end of guitars and bass is crushing. Vocals are handled by Keijo Bagge (surprise, in Rotten Sound too!), who does great job, except his English pronouncing. He growls, shouts, screams and generally sounds ugly.

The music is varying, but some of the tracks are not so good. And lyrics... Shite! Bad English (just like this, eh?!?!) and sometimes just funny, intended or not? I think not. The lyrics' topics are social nausea, some gore and nausea in one's brain. Sometimes the music rolls on like fuck and deathrock parts are great. And here and there can be found a great death metal riff. Above average.
