Style

Mozaiq is more euro-trance influenced than all their previous materials, stating that it "is really about breaking down the boundaries of what we refer to as Heavy Music".[7] It contains more clean vocals, especially on "Neo-Gothic-Romance". The track "Metropolice" is built upon female vocal samples. Instrumentation is lower-paced than on their previous works, especially their debut album, and synths sometimes cross into industrial/eurodance territory.[8] With the arrival of vocalist Sadew, original lead vocalist Ryo performs only backing vocals on the album in addition to maintaining his role as bassist.
