* ADayInTheLimelight: "Bianca Devins" breaks their usual formula by being named after the victim of the crime, whereas nearly all of their other songs focus on the killer(s). "Elisa Lam" is ''almost'' an example, although given the mysterious circumstances (there's no real evidence that an outside party was involved in her death), they really couldn't play that one any other way.

** In fact, the heavy use of vocal effects and modulation has become so ubiquitous in their music that hearing Skynd use her ''natural'' voice in a song can produce this effect.

Misuse of Hell Is That Noise (since it refers to when a character in a story hears such a sound, not a character with an ominous voice), and Voice Of The Legion (since the deeper masculine vocal effect that SKYND uses isn't an example of that). Splitting.
* EvilSoundsDeep: The [[LarynxDissonance masculine vocal effect]] that Skynd uses frequently, often when singing from the perspective of a specific murderous individual in the song.
Deleted line(s) 36 (click to see context) :
* HellIsThatNoise: Employed often, most prominently on Skynd's vocals, which are often pitch-shifted and heavily distorted to make her sound [[EvilSoundsDeep deeper]], [[LarynxDissonance male]] and ''[[VoiceOfTheLegion utterly terrifying]]''.

* LarynxDissonance: One of the vocal effects that Skynd frequently uses involves pitching her voice down to make it sound more masculine.

SKYND are a gothic industrial electronica band. Their lyrical content is entirely centred around TrueCrime, focusing on serial killers, cult leaders, or mysterious cases. Since emerging in 2018 with their debut single, "Elisa Lam", the band have quickly gained a rapid following for their experimental blend of IndustrialMetal, [[ElectronicDanceMusic EDM]], DarkWave, and GothRock, their extremely dark music videos, and their unique horror-tinged look.
They are also known for their heavy theatricality, adopting personas straight out of a horror movie to conceal their true identities from the public, and pushing the focus onto the music instead.
They have released 2 EP's, ''Chapter I'' and ''Chapter II'', with ''Chapter III'' announced in October 2020.
