Their goal was to write and perform their own material which is recorded and produced in their own studio. A total of 4 Demos, 2 LP, and 2 EP's have released between 1999 and 2014 with various changes to the line-up, and then in 2014 Escapetor's latest creation 'Fear' was recorded and released.

Escapetor is a band with stylistic references to metal music from the 80ies heavy-metal to the contemporary metal scene with influences across many genres. Escapetor's music is fast and heavy; Thrash Metal is the easiest label to use. Metallica, Annihilator, Anthrax, Kreator, Testament, Pantera and Slipknot are names used to describe Escapetors influences. Escapetor has traditionally created all their music during rehearsals in studio where a number of influences are brought together from the different members of the band, creating a distinct style & sound.
