* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs - The video for ''Rule the World'' is... surreal... to say the least, and seems to take place in some manner of opium den.

* DesignatedHero: Over ''Epics'' and ''The Black Halo,'' Ariel does almost nothing heroic. He's selfish, smug, weak, abandons everyone who cares about him and achieves practically nothing to earn his title as "God's favorite men."

** ''Ghost Opera'' is a song from the POV of an old woman reminiscing about how her attack and rape on the night she was to sing at an opera. She fantasizes about performing to acclaim, but it's only a dream. Mitigating somewhat in ''Opus of the Night,'' where this was such a tearjerker that Thomas Youngblood had to ensure a sequel to give her a happier ending.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff - Though founded in Florida, they only have a strong underground following in North America while they're among the most popular power metal bands in Europe along side giants like Music/{{Helloween}} or Music/{{Nightwish}}. Since ''Ghost Opera'', at least half the band has been European, and they now have as many Germans as Americans in the band.

Added DiffLines:

* RootingForTheEmpire: Mephisto is the one people cheer for in ''Epica'' and ''The Black Halo,'' being a suave, brilliant fallen angel with some sympathy to his backstory and rage over being cast aside in favor of humankind. He has some exceptional songs and even comes off as more sympathetic than Ariel.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Only rising to prominence around the turn of the century when power metal came back to life on mainland Europe, many will no doubt be surprised to learn the band is over 20 years old.

* CompleteMonster: In the last three songs of ''Karma'', Countess UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory is a vain woman who [[ImmortalityImmorality desires eternity and divinity]]. After striking a virgin servant, Bathory believes she has discovered what she has sought and begins abducting girls to torture them and [[BloodBath bathe in their blood]], mocking them about walking beside her for all time after. After killing countless women, Bathory realizes she has nothing awaiting her but hell, and any attempt at repentance is hollow because [[IRegretNothing she regrets nothing]].
