** The line "IT'S YOUR [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKIN']] NIGHTMAAAAAARE, [[EvilLaugh HA HA HA]]" is very clichéd and cheesy, but nobody seems to care besides a few critics. "A Little Piece of Heaven" is full of narm as well, but it's all tongue-in-cheek.

** Even looking outside of ''Hail to the King'', the main riff of "God Hates Us" (as heard [[https://youtu.be/nDcD62i0MpI?si=GDThEhwOgLdkhYti&t=84 here]]) is almost a dead ringer for [[Music/{{Muse}} Muse's]] "Stockholm Syndrome" (as heard [[https://youtu.be/gXN9acC9edU?si=cKYMvnMaLsWTfg8M here]]).

* NightmareFuel:
** The music videos for many of their songs, but most notably the videos for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHS3qJdxefY "Bat Country"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bDg7n-chhU "The Beast and the Harlot"]].
** "A Little Piece of Heaven" in spades. Though this may count more as a BizarroEpisode if the underlying theme and its relation to the other songs of the SelfTitledAlbum is to be taken in context.
** The ''Nightmare'' video has this, appropriately enough - Children playing in blood, a catatonic Syn Gates banging his bloodied head against a window...
*** Other creepy factors such as Matt's slow SanitySlippage through the hospital, Zack dancing with a ''skeleton'' and the ending WhamShot being that the surgery room containing ''The Rev's drum set, with the lights morphed into his form''.
** "Fiction" is very chilling. Particularly the last thirty seconds or so, which is basically a passage of eerie near-silence.
--->''Not that I could,''
--->''Or that I would,''
--->''Let it burn,''
--->''Under my skin,''
--->''Let it'' '''''[[CarefulWithThatAxe BUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN]]'''''
*** ''Nightmare'' in general is either this or pure TearJerker, alongside some other disturbing cuts such as "Buried Alive" (about dying and basically enduring hell for your actions) and "Natural Born Killer".(ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin), and a full blown RageAgainstTheHeavens with "God Hates Us". Remember, this is an album ''dedicated'' to their deceased friend/drummer.
** "Not Ready to Die," the song written for [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps Black Ops Zombies,]] is sung from the point of view of Richtofen / the zombies...
** Wes Lang's [[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwhich-deathbat-design-is-your-favorite-v0-h9hjkbaezt5b1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dbed563bd33fdf27b3e700cb65d5f005da8da21dd depiction of the Deathbat]] is surprisingly nightmarish. The minimalist style most ''Life Is But a Dream...'' art is done with is abandoned for a pretty detailed look of the Deathbat, even more so than usual. It's jaw looks ready to swallow something whole, and given the art style, it looks like there's ink dripping off of it. There ''is'' ink dripping off of it as seen in the audio visualizers for the album's songs. All in all, a creepy rendition of the usually badass looking Deathbat.
