* CreditsGag: ''Only The Ruthless Remain''. Keyser and Beaulac's work on the album is repeatedly referred to as "Rhythmic [insert reference to song lyrics here]", Webber's lyrical contributions (and those of Carpenter on the lyrics he co-wrote) likewise reference the song lyrics or themes (e.g. "Last Words" for "Funeral Curse"), production work is credited to "Forces Of Evil Far Beyond Your Control", and in lieu of a thank you message to family, friends, other metal bands and the fans (a common staple of album credits even in death metal) is a LampshadeHanging of the absence of such:

* BannedFromArgo: Sherwood Webber received a lifetime ban from the Palladium in Worcester, MA in 2002 after he stagedived onto several police officers and paramedics who were tending to an injured fan, then proceeded to insult the police officers once he was back onstage. The band was allowed back once Jason Keyser took his place, but with Webber's post-reunion return, they are banned from the venue once again.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Progression Towards Evil'' is almost exclusively focused on ToiletHumor and {{Gorn}}. ''Foreshadowing Our Demise'' has a few tracks of that type, but leans more on the HumansAreBastards and/or political themes that make up the bulk of their last two albums.

They did not indicate whether they deliberately planted them or not.

They reunited in 2013 with the lineup seen on ''Progression Towards Evil'', with Dave Matthews (not ''[[Music/DaveMatthewsBand that]]'' one, obviously) from Carpenter's former project Armor Column being drafted shortly after to make it a five-piece. ''Only the Ruthless Remain'', their first post-reunion album, will drop on June 2, 2015.
