1* AudienceAlienatingEra: The band's albums from 1992 to 1999 are largely viewed as this due to abandoning their trademark sound in favor of IndustrialMetal[[note]]''Renewal'', ''Cause for Conflict''[[/note]] or GothicMetal[[note]]''Outcast'' and ''Endorama''[[/note]], although they have a fair amount of defenders.
2* SignatureSong: "Pleasure to Kill" or "Flag of Hate" in general, "Violent Revolution" for the Yli-Sirnio-era material.
3* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
4** The band’s Industrial/Gothic influenced albums got this.
5** Though nowhere near as prominent as the above (the bulk of these releases being well received by the fandom, particularly ''Coma of Souls'' which is often seen as a competitor to ''Pleasure to Kill'' as their magnum opus), there exists a vocal minority of fans that thinks the band got significantly worse when their sound became more polished and technical, but less chaotic, on ''Terrible Certainty'', ''Extreme Aggression'' and ''Coma of Souls''. This group similarly tends to think not very highly of ''Violent Revolution'' onward, viewing them and especially their strong MelodicDeathMetal tendencies as being "too clean".
6* WinBackTheCrowd: The release of ''Violent Revolution'' in 2001, which was a fresh return to the band's [[Main/ThrashMetal signature sound]] that was last seen on 1990's ''Coma of Souls''. Along with that, the album was generally very well-received by critics and fans alike.
