* FunWithAcronyms / GeniusBonus: The title of ''ATGCLVLSSCAP'' refers to the constellations on the ecliptic line in their respective order, starting from the vernal equinox. [[note]] Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces [[/note]] They also happen to be the signs of the Zodiac.

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: There have been two versions of this for the band's "black metal Trilogie". One, released in 1997, was called ''The Trilogie: Three Journeyes Through the Norwegian Netherworlde'', which was a box set with three picture [=LPs=] and a bunch of {{Feelies}}. The second, released in 2014, was called ''Trolsk sortmetall 1993-1997'' and included either five [=CDs=] or four [=LPs=] and a cassette along with the requisite {{Feelies}}, which were different this time around (also, unlike ''The Trilogie'', this included the band's demo ''Vargnatt'' and a rehearsal of four ''Nattens madrigal'' tracks). The material was also remastered for ''Trolsk sortmetall''.

** ''Nattens madrigal'' has a [=ReplayGain=] value of -16.22 dB, which indicates a gigantic amount of volume compression (especially considering that there are probably five minutes' worth of ambient passages between the tracks dragging the values down somewhat). This was likely a deliberate aesthetic choice to make the album's production even colder. To their credit, the band took care to avoid any clipping when mastering it, and most of their other albums are mastered at more reasonable levels. Additionally, the remaster of ''Nattens'' on ''Trolsk sortmetall'' (supervised by [[FaceOfTheBand Krystoffer Rygg]] himself) averts this; it's over six decibels quieter and comes in at [=DR7=] instead of [=DR3=]. Unfortunately, the version of ''Bergtatt'' on the same release is louder than the original (though not painfully so). The vinyl editions, as is usual with Century Media, are more dynamic and were likely given separate masters, with all albums in the set falling in the [=DR10-DR12=] range.

* LongTitle:
** In addition to the album titles seen above, there is also the song title "As Syrians Pour In, Lebanon Grapples with Ghosts of a Bloody Past", which is taken verbatim from an actual news headline from Reuters concerning the refugee crisis caused by the ongoing Syrian Civil War. Kristoffer Rygg called the piece "an indication of concern" and stated, "we have no ideology for sale. Only our sadness".
** There's also "A Little Wiser Than the Monkey, Much Wiser Than Seven Men", a remix by Alexander Rishaug from ''1st Decade in the Machines''. Runners-up include "Østenfor sol og vestenfor maane" ("East of the Sun and West of the Moon"), "Limbo Central (Theme from Perdition City)", "Porn Piece or the Scars of Cold Kisses", "Silence Teaches You How to Sing", "Bog's Basil & Curry Powder Potatoes Recipe", "I Love You, but I Prefer Trondheim (parts 1-4)", "Only the Poor Have Time to Travel", "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)", "The Spirits That Lend Strength Are Invisible", "Idle Hands Are the Devil's Playthings", all five song titles from ''Bergtatt'', and quite a few from the Blake album.

** Greek: "Gnosis" ("Γνώσης"), meaning "knowledge"; "Catalept" ("Κατάλεπτ"), meaning "falling"; "Eos" ("Έως"), meaning "until". Also, "Ecclesiastes (A Vernal Catnap)" refers to a book of the Bible/Tanakh, but according to Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}, in Greek the word ("Ἐκκλησιαστής") means roughly "one who convenes or addresses an assembly". Finally, "Cromagnosis" looks like a word of Greek origin (in the Greek alphabet it could be written as either "Κρομαγνωσης" or "Χρομαγνωσης"), but there don't appear to be any cases of it being used as a single word in Greek script; it may be a pun invented by the band, and it appears to be intended to mean something like "Colour of Knowledge" or "Cry of Knowledge", depending upon which spelling was intended ("χρώμα" matches with "colour"). The band may also have intended a pun on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon Cro-Magnons]], the earliest known humans.
