* DarkerAndEdgier: Their material from ''Misery'' onward made them this for brutal death metal
* DeathMetal: They practice a version of brutal death metal that can be best described as a mix between the early 2000s Unique Leader Records style (particularly Disgorge) and dissonant death metal. This makes their success somewhat of an anomaly, as that particular style of brutal death seldom manages to achieve anything other than underground success.

Over the course of 2014, the band began playing shows outside of Australia and New Zealand, and ''Misery'', their sophomore full-length, was released that October to rave reviews and appeared on numerous year-end lists. The hype continued to build throughout 2015, which was aided by their first US tour, but bigger things occurred in 2016, when a spring US tour with Music/TheBlackDahliaMurder and Music/{{Fallujah}} exposed them to a much wider audience. They would continue to tour on ''Misery'' for the next two years, while Parker left in 2017 after having been an AbsenteeActor for some time and was replaced by Adrian Cappalletti.

* AbsenteeActor: Jim Parker stopped being able to regularly play shows with the band at some point during the mid-2010s, as his day job and a move to the United States got in the way.

* DeathMetal: Brutal Death Metal. A mix of the early 2000s Unique Leader Records style (particularly Disgorge) and dissonant death metal. This makes their success somewhat of an anomaly, as that particular style of brutal death seldom manages to achieve anything other than underground success.

* CosmicHorrorStory: The apocalypse that their lyrics depict has overtones of this; one day, the forces of Heaven and Hell are going to carry out Armageddon on Earth, there isn't a goddamn thing we can do about it, none of our religious teachings are anywhere close to correct and they don't really care about us outside of our potential as {{Mook}}s to throw into the meat grinder so that they can spare a few of their own, and when that war is over, humanity is stuck with the bill and a ruined world.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Sunken Chambers of Nephilim'' was a fairly straightforward brutal death album, with none of the dissonant elements that would later come to define their work.
* GodAndSatanAreBothJerks: The warring forces of Heaven and Hell definitely have overtones of this in their works; neither side gives a fuck about what we think and only see us as expendable foot soldiers, and none of our religious teachings about them are even close to correct.

* MetalScream: Jordan James is a Type 2, sporting a distinctive gurgly bellow.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Solid 11 for their entire career, solid 10 on the more atmospheric tracks.

* SpecialGuest: They have had guest spots from [[Music/TheBlackDahliaMurder Trevor Strnad]] and [[Music/{{Disgorge}} Matti Way]] on album, while Lachlan Eddy (Whoretopsy) and Adrian Cappalletti were live fill-ins after Jim Parker stopped being able to tour, and Tom Joice also returned as a fill-in for a brief period of time.

Formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 2009 by Jordan "Jawd" James (vocals), Jake Wilkes (guitars), Tom "Pox" Joice (bass), and Henri Sison (drums), the band wasted no time in recording a two-song promo that made the rounds locally on [=MySpace=] and at shows, and the band managed to ink some sort of deal with the Japanese underground label Amputated Vein Records in 2010 to put out ''Sunken Chambers of Nephilim'', their debut full-length. They continued to play throughout Australia throughout 2011 while the album slowly circulated around blogs and message boards, and by 2012, they had recorded a second promo that hinted at a new direction, which managed to catch the attention of the American brutal death metal label New Standard Elite in 2013; additionally, Tom Joice left at some point during 2012 and was replaced by Jim Parker.

After the conclusion of the MarathonLevel that was the touring cycle for ''Misery'', they finally returned to the studio to record its followup, and after over a month of teasing the album over the spring of 2019, they finally announced ''The Decaying Light'', along with a deal with Unique Leader Records. ''The Decaying Light'' was released on July 12, 2019, and is currently being supported by their first North American headlining tour as of the writing of this article.

* NewSoundAlbum: Several:

* LeadBassist: Adrian Cappalletti is a Type 4, as his basslines cut a central figure through ''The Decaying Light'' and often take a lead role, and are overall a major part of their current style.
