Composition

East Side Militia showcases the bands further progression past the widespread use of metal guitars from the last release. The release also leans more towards an electronica and Industrial style, with more distortion instrumentally and vocally, including softer melodic parts in the compositions. This is the only album release by Chemlab to feature no "suture" instrumentals (since oxidizer).
