* CounterpartComparison: Silencer can be compared to Finnish DeathMetal band Demilich, as both are bands that only released a single album but became famous thanks to their one-of-a-kind vocals. However, while Nattramn's vocals are a definite polarizing affair, Antti Boman's vocals are instead universally praised.

* LoveItOrHateIt: Nattramn's vocals are among the biggest in metal, with half the community praising them as terrifying and the other half condemning them as [[{{Narm}} unintentionally hilarious]].

* OlderThanTheyThink: While Silencer has what is probably the most (in)famous case of "utterly unhinged {{Metal Scream}}s" in metal, the band is not the first to use them, with the German band Bethlehem employing them on their 1996 album ''Dictius te Necare'' (link [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqUrP2J58Rw here]]).

** TearJerker: This is a third possible reaction to the band. Particularly for those who have suffered clinical depression or other mental illnesses, the vocals can actually be quite emotionally affecting, and instrumentation music is certainly bleak enough to induce such a reaction as well.

* UnfortunateImplications: The lyrics of "I Shall Lead, You Shall Follow" could be read as being sympathetic to the Nazis, although it's not clear if they're intended to be. Since Nattramn appears to have been literally clinically insane when the record was recorded (he was institutionalised for several years shortly after the record was made), this may be beside the point.
