Embertears’ main goal to create concept albums to work out whole stories entirely. The main theme of the first album “The Flood” - released in April 2022 - is The Flood from The Bible.

The tempo is genre specific from slow to medium speed but with also many fast parts with several tempo changes. The music also uses lot of different time signatures from the generic 4/4 and 3/4 to 6/4, 5/4 and others.
The guitar style contains heavy parts but also lyrical cleans and many technically advanced parts as well.

Skylight Webzine about Embertears and Red Chapter album:

"Embertears, the musical project led by Tamas (Tom) Geza Albert, produces an ambitious and complex piece in The Time of Harvest. Beginning with a slow, mysterious electric guitar intro, the tune soon creates an interesting atmosphere before the main theme appears. The guitar work especially impressive, with sophisticated time signatures, dramatic changes, and a heavy layered sound reminding of 1990s progressive metal. Fans of Dream Theater and Fates Warning will appreciate the composition’s musicianship. At 1:43, old-school thrash metal-inspired vocals appear, giving the song a rough quality. The vocal style reflects the raw anger of Testament and Metallica, creating a dynamic contrast to the complex arrangement. The interplay between the complicated guitar lines and the strong vocal performance emphasizes the song’s differed structure, maintaining the listener intrigued through. The composition and performances are outstanding, however the mix may be improved. A clearer production would highlight the complex details of the guitar work and improve the overall listening experience, allowing the Prog layers to stand out. Overall, The Time of Harvest is a powerful example of Embertears’ combination of progressive elegance with thrash metal energy. With a few tweaks to the mix, this music has the potential to become a modern classic for fans of technical metal."
