Veni Domine combines down-tempo melodic heavy metal, symphonic metal and doom metal with occasional touches of gothic. Originally, the vocalist Fredrik Ohlsson represented operatic, high-pitched vocals but has since shifted to more lower vocal range during the years. "Fall Babylon Fall" and "Material Sanctuary" are the band's significant, acclaimed albums. During the time when these album's were released, Veni Domine was well-known in the metal scene. However, as their later albums took longer time to be released and gained average reviews, Veni Domine was more or less forgotten in the metal mainstream. Currently Veni Domine is a cult band of a small audience.Kuusisto, Jari [http://www.noise.fi/levyarvostelut/index.php?id=3274 Veni Domine] retrieved 2008-02-16] Veni Domine does not clearly fit into a specific catogory; According to the band, in doom metal festivals they are labeled as "power metal" and in power metal events as "doom metal".

During the early years, the band's lyrics dealt with apocalyptic themes from Biblical point of view. Currently their lyrics are more about personal topics.
