21	!!Khanate's music provides examples of the following tropes:
22
23	* AxCrazy: All of their songs are written from an extremely deranged and hateful perspective.
24	* CarefulWithThatAxe: Alan Dublin delivers almost every line in a eardrum-shattering screech.
25	* ColdBloodedTorture: "Pieces of Quiet" appears to be about sawing a person apart because they won't stop crying. "Release" also seems to be about this.
26	* EpicRocking: Their entire output. Their longest are "Under Rotting Sky" (18:17), "Release" (25:03), and "Every God Damn Thing" (32:52).
27	* FaceOnTheCover: One cover for ''Capture and Release'' features mugshots of the band members.
28	* GenuineHumanHide: "Skin Coat."
29	* IndecipherableLyrics: Well, the vocals are screamed, so...
30	* LastNoteNightmare: "No Joy" and "Too Close Enough to Touch".
31	* MadnessMantra: Oh man, this band has PLENTY: ''"RED GLOOORY!"'' ("Commuted"), ''PLEASE DON'T BREATHE!!!'' ("No Joy"), ''HELLLLLLLL!'' ("Every God Damn Thing")
32	* MetalScream: All the vocals (except the whispered ones) are eardrum-shattering Type 3 shrieks, but one of the few times Alan holds a long note is at the beginning of "Skincoat".
33	* MindScrew: BIG TIME!
34	* NothingIsScarier: Their quieter tracks define this trope.
35	* ObsessionSong: "Capture" and "Commuted."
36	* PsychopathicManchild: A lot of their music gives off this impression, due to the simplistic but disturbing lyrics and screamed delivery of the vocals.
37	* TitleDrop: From "Too Close Enough to Touch" the band drops the title of the album the song is on: ''Outside...ugly...things viral...''
38	* SanitySlippageSong: Their entire catalog. Especially "Every God Damn Thing". Read the lyrics and you'll know what I mean.
39	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Dublin does this so much it's a wonder he still has a voice.
40	* SerialKiller: The general vibe they give off.
