The first studio album that was released was 2002's Wolf Age, put out under the Black Pepper Records label. The album showed off a key element that defines the band's sound—rich programming with extensive use of environmental sound samples and “darkened neo-classical noise-scapes”.Joshua Heinrich, Jeremy Eckhart Asmodeus X- Morningstar. Grave Concerns E-zine, February 17, 2005.Review. Gothic Beauty. Issue 9. 2003. The lyrics of the band's music are generally described as thoughtful or intellectual; meditations on “the darkest realms of the animal mind and the human condition” with "Goetic, Objectivist and left-hand path elements".Chris Parasyte. Asmodeus X: Asmodeus X EP. Starvox, March 2003. A further example of this is seen in their choice to remix a sound recording, Underground Tunnels by a proponent of the left-hand path, . Later, Fredric provided philosophical contexts for their two subsequent albums in a self-published 2009 book, The Erbeth Transmissions.Fritzi. Check out Erbeth Transmissions at Latex Records.
