"TO THE LIONS" is in the natural vein of AnoxiAs previous works, not deviating too much from the recognizable Anoxia-formula of heavy metal. However, this time Anoxia decided on a more direct and clear edge to the sound, allowing the songs to speak more for themselves. The musical direction bears references to the likes of Iron Maiden, Slayer, In Flames, and a lot of classic hard rock and 80s thrash.
