* GutturalGrowler: Both Noora and Nitte can sing in such gravelly tones, that it can be hard to tell that they're actually women.

** {{Dystopia}}: "Out on the Streets" is focused on [[ActionSurvivor a person who's alone in a world like this]], [[AnAxeToGrind with nothing but a trusty axe]].

* DistaffCounterpart: Nitte Valo sings like a female [[Music/{{WASP}} Blackie Lawless]].

* GenderFlip: ''Unholy Savior'' 's Japanese edition has a cover song of "Wild Child" of Music/{{WASP}}. The lyrics of that song is about Blackie Lawless trying to impress a girl, boasting to be a better lover than her boyfriend. The lyrics of the cover are exactly the same, except that all gender specific words were switched to the female form, in reference to Noora. "You tell me. You tell me the lies you're telling '''her''' when you run away, 'cause I wanna know, Cause I, I'm sure it's killing '''her''' to find that you run to me when '''she''' lets you go"

* FilkSong:
** They have several songs based on ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' -- their first album, "Steel" - "Band of the Hawk", about the eponymous band; "Iron Hand", about Guts; and "Victory", about the heroics of the Hawks. Their self-titled album also has the instrumental "Golden Age" as well as "Kingdom", about Griffith's murderous ambition and [[spoiler:ascension into the ranks of the God Hand]], and "Fight, Kill, Die", also about Guts. %%And don't get us started with ''Unholy Savior''.
** "Machine Revolution" and "Shutdown" are {{shout out}}s to Film/TheMatrix.
** "Literature/{{Neuromancer}}" goes without saying.
** "Armageddon Clan" is basically ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}''.
