The album, in particular, employs a style more akin to progressive metal than the earliest Death releases, although since ''[[Human (Death album)|Human]]'' and the albums following it, the band had been developing more toward this style. The average song length on this album is around six minutes. Also, it was a breakthrough album for drummer and later radio star [[Richard Christy]], a fan favorite, in the tradition of previous drummers like [[Gene Hoglan]] and [[Sean Reinert]].

It is rumored that some of the song names and music on ''The Sound of Perseverance'' were originally going to appear on the first [[Control Denied]] album. Schuldiner himself denied this in an interview with Metal Maniacs in 1998 by saying that none of his compositions for Control Denied had been used to fill space for a Death album. When Death was signed on to [[Nuclear Blast]], Schuldiner agreed to make one last Death album before moving forward with Control Denied.
