* GriefSong: The Mortician’s Flame, Graveflower, and Venus Blue, among others.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: The highly varied and disparate nature of the individual musical influences of the members manifested itself in the music which, among other things, had elements of death metal, blues, folk, hardcore, crust punk, grindcore, black metal, country, Southern rock, post-hardcore, stoner metal, industrial, and gothic rock.

* ContemptibleCover: The artwork they used for their albums was done by several infamous serial killers such as John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, and Kenneth Bianchi. Also, the cover for ''Paegan Terrorism Tactics'' features a rather macabre painting by euthanasia activist Dr. Jack Kevorkian.

* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: Easily a 10 most of the time, due to a combination of horrific violence, SurrealHorror PurpleProse and vulgarity intertwined with images of youthful innocence. They go to an 11 at their most gruesome ( [[{{ILoveTheDead}} Cassie Eats Cockroaches]] and [[{{MurderBallad}} Jezebel]]) and a 8/9 at their lightest ( [[{{GriefSong}} Graveflower]] )
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: They range across the whole scale. Their gentler songs range from 2-5. Their harsher songs span the range from 6 to 11.
** They’re generally a soft 8 ("Tranquilized) to hard 9 ("Toubabo Koomi") though.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: In case you were wondering, that's not a stage name. Dax Riggs is the guy's actual name. Sammy Duet, Audie Pitre, and Tommy Viator also have quite a ring to them.

* MohsScaleofLyricalHardness: Easily a 10 most of the time, due to a combination of horrific violence, SurrealHorror PurpleProse and vulgarity constrained with images of youthful innocence. They go to an 11 at their most gruesome ( [[{{ILoveTheDead}} Cassie Eats Cockroaches]] and [[{{MurderBallad}} Jezebel]]) and a 8/9 at their lightest ( [[{{GriefSong}} Graveflower]] )

* GriefSong: The Mortician’s Flame, Graveflower, and Venus Blur, among others.

* MohsScaleofLyricalHardness: A 8 at their lightest ("Graveflower"), up to a soft 11. Disturbingly gory, hateful and sad.

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Scream of the Butterfly," "Bones of Baby Dolls," "New Death Sensation," "Venus Blue," and compared to some of their more abrasive material "Graveflower."

* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: A frequent theme, especially on "Jezebel" and "Cassie Eats Cockroaches".

* LyricalDissonance: The songs "Scream of the Butterfly" and "Bones of Baby Dolls" are smooth, acoustic songs with rather horrifying lyrics.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Nope, that's not a stage name. Dax Riggs is his actual name.

* ContemptibleCover: The artwork they used for their albums was done by several infamous serial killers such as John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, and Kenneth Bianchi. Also, the cover for ''Paegan Terrorism Tactics'' features a rather macabre painting by euthanasia activist, Dr. Jack Kevorkian.

* {{Yarling}}: Dax's clean vocals. His singing has earned a number of well-deserved comparisons to [[Music/AliceInChains Lane Staley]].
