Vernous makes use of the following instruments: guitars, drums, bass, synths, viola, voice, percussion, and sequencers. Vernous is music operating primarily in the electronic/dance medium, although ties to industrial, rock, noise and ambient music can also be found.

Vernous records songs in solitude, perfecting them until they are ready for new ears to digest.

When Vernous performs live it often happens with video projections by Grey Matter (aka Alex Nathanson). It is loud, intense, and danceable.
