They have been carving a unique niche in the metal scene since their formation, incorporating native instrumentation and narratives into the ferocity and dark melodies characteristic of their genre. The band sings predominantly in Mandarin, and their lyrics often draw on historical and folkloric themes, which has allowed them to connect deeply with fans both in Taiwan and across the Asian metal community.

Their discography showcases a penchant for storytelling and atmospheric construction, with albums like "Myths of the Islands" and "HAGAKURE II" reflecting an intricate layering of traditional sounds with relentless metal riffs and rhythms. The release of tracks such as "Kenshi Subete Hey Ru" and "Sakai Jiken" further attest to their commitment to exploring cultural identity through music. Releases like "葉隱" (HAGAKURE), "孤鷹行" (The Solitary Eagle's Journey), "水沙漣傳奇" (The Legend of Shuiliandong), and its prelude "水沙漣 序" (Prelude to Shuiliandong) have earned them a dedicated following. "末日黎明" (Dawn of the Last Day) shows their ability to create both grand narratives and powerful music, ensuring that Bloody Tyrant remains a significant and innovative force within the metal community.
