* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Their music is not for the faint of heart, but even if you aren't a big fan of abrasive metal, awesome music is pretty much what you would expect from one of the most extreme and unusual metal bands around.
* CatharsisFactor: Seemingly built for this. They're excellent when you need something to drown out frustration with the lightning riffs and guttural shrieks. A prime example is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzghSOZW7Zk Depravity Favors the Bold]]".
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Of BlackMetal, with Music/{{Kvelertak}}.
* EpicRiff: Everywhere, but the opening riffs of "To Spite the Face" and "Submission Is for the Weak" are especially epic.
* FirstInstallmentWins: Mostly averted, though a sizeable portion of the fanbase still swears by ''The Codex Necro'' as the band's greatest achievement and one that they will never top.
* {{Narm}}: Some metalheads perceive them as appallingly over-the-top metal that can border on StylisticSuck, just like [[Music/AnalCunt another infamous band with a suspiciously similar name...]]
* NightmareFuel: '''A PRIME EXAMPLE OF INTENSE BLACK METAL'''.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Some fans and reviewers criticized ''A New Kind of Horror'' for sounding too much like ''The Whole of the Law'', especially since the group is known for changing up their sound on every album. Then again, ''The Whole of the Law'' is a real ToughActToFollow.
* WinBackTheCrowd: Fan reactions to their 2010s output became increasingly mixed with each release (aside from ''Vanitas'' and ''The Whole of the Law'', which are generally liked), but ''Endarkenment'' won back many of their older fans who were not on board with their modern output or were at odds with the increasingly heavy focus on the industrial elements.
