* FandomRivalry: With fellow Canadian mathcore band Ion Dissonance. It's all a matter of musical heaviness: ID fans say that TDEP is not heavy enough, while TDEP fans say that ID sacrifices too much musicianship to reach high levels of heaviness.

* EpicRiff: The opening riff from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv8b6RPbnAc "43% Burnt"]] is probably the first thing that comes to mind when they're mentioned; it's one of the few musical ideas in their back catalogue that could be called "catchy". Little wonder that they've played the song at every gig they've played since they wrote it.

* MagnumOpusDissonance** MagnumOpusDissonance: The abovementioned album also fell prey to this, partly due to a combination of CriticalDissonance (it wasn't really well-received when it first came out) and SeinfeldIsUnfunny (it has been copied ''so many times'' that almost no one would notice how groundbreaking the album was).
