** "Generator", "Lost Horizon" and "Aeroscope" from ''Transnational''.
* LighterAndSofter: Musically, they've become less abrasive on their most recent albums. Lyrically, nothing they've done since ''Praise The Fallen'' really matches that album for sheer misery.
* MadnessMantra / SurvivalMantra: "Fearless", from ''Futureperfect'', has a mantra as part of its chorus that really blurs this line between the two and counts as both:
-->''I am not alone / I am not afraid / I am not unhappy'' - "Fearless"
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: As an EBM / Futurepop band, they usually manage to be in the 3-5 range (the songs that manage 5 do so because of distortion on the drum machine and synths), though they have a fair few songs that go lower as well.
* NewSoundAlbum: All of their first three albums are obvious examples of this, especially ''Empires''. ''Futureperfect'' is another slight example, since it ups the {{Trance}} quotient some. ''Matter + Form'' adds harder, more "live"-sounding drum loops to the equation from time to time as well as more distorted synth sounds, and ''Automatic'' noticeably ups the SynthPop aspect of their sound.
* SiameseTwinSongs: "Strata" and "Interceptor" off ''Matter + Form'' are basically one song split in two. Also, many of the intro {{Instrumentals}} count as this when combined with the first actual songs on their respective albums.
* SpokenWordInMusic: Fairly often.
* SynthPop: A prominent influence on the sound from their second album on, and their later albums are arguably full examples of the genre.
* TropeCodifier: For the Futurepop subgenre of {{Industrial}} Music.

to:

* AlbumTitleDrop: "Honour" on ''Praise the Fallen''.
* DespairEventHorizon: The speaker in "Forsaken", off of the ''Solitary'' EP.
* GenreShift: On their first three albums, they gradually shifted from fairly standard EBM fare to the {{Trance}} and SynthPop-influenced sound that characterized the Futurepop subgenre. On ''Futureperfect'', they upped the {{Trance}} influence somewhat. Later albums up the SynthPop quotient instead, though the core sound is still Futurepop.
* HumansAreFlawed: A major theme of their songs, sometimes going in to HumansAreBastards.
* {{Instrumentals}}: Quite a few, including:
** "Chosen", "Forsaken", "Ascension", "Burnout", "PTF2021" and the untitled track from ''Praise The Fallen''.
** "Firstlight", "Saviour" and "Distant (Rubicon II)" from ''Empires''.
** "Foreword", "Electronaut" (except for the odd vocoder-heavy recitation of the title), "Liebestod", "Structure" and "4am" off ''Futureperfect''.
** "Intro", "Colours Of Rain", "Strata", "Interceptor" and "Lightwave" from ''Matter + Form''.
** "Prelude" and "As It Fades" from ''Judgement''.
** "Pro Victoria" from ''Of Faith, Power and Glory''.
** "On Air", "Goodbye 20th Century" and "Photon" off ''Automatic''.
* SpokenWordInMusic: Fairly often.
