* SpiritualSuccessor: A lot of metalheads see them as this to Music/{{Voivod}}, particularly their sound on their breakthrough album ''Killing Technology''. This is more of an aesthetic similarity than a musical one, however, as the two bands sound very different from one another aside from their love of dissonant chords and occasional extended atmospheric passages.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Generally around the hard 8/low 9 area, sometimes climbing to a harder 9 or a softer 8, and some passages go much lower than that. ''Collapse'' is by far the band's softest effort, falling around a high 5/low 6.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

* BlackMetal: In addition to progressive thrash, their sound borrows quite a bit from black metal; David [=DiSanto=]'s vocals definitely have a shriek to them, an they are known to incorporate a number of blast beats into their music (something not seen terribly often in "regular" thrash). Their music is also quite trebly, which is more associated with black metal than with thrash.
