* CreativeDifferences:
** Subverted with Ryan Williams, Shannon Lucas, and Ryan Knight, as they were all just very burned out on the touring lifestyle; Knight even made a point of telling them that he was going to leave before ''Abysmal'' was even recorded, had Ellis lined up to replace him well in advance, and just generally took great pains to make it as easy a split as possible.
** Played ''very'' straight with Zach Gibson and John Kempainen; Gibson absolutely hated Brian Eschbach and left with a ton of drama, while Kempainen just didn't give a shit and contributed literally nothing save for leads, which were improvised on the spot because he didn't feel like writing them. Gibson has since made amends with Trevor, at the very least, and the two are currently decent friends and Trevor is a fan of Nightkin and Shit Life.

* CreatorBacklash: Trevor did not have the greatest opinion of ''Miasma'', ''Deflorate'', or ''Abysmal''. As far as he was concerned, ''Miasma'' was a confused, unfocused album that involved way too many last-minute plan B's due to plan A either falling through or not coming out right, ''Deflorate'' was too technical for its own good and was just a bunch of extremely fast songs from start to finish with no room to breathe (though he has cited "I Will Return" as his favorite song in the band's entire catalog), and ''Abysmal'' involved a lot of writer's block and a major miscommunication between the band and the label about the mix.

** They'd prefer that you not remember their first demo. Trevor's response to fans who have asked them to reissue it or play songs off it whenever he has made a "remember when?" post on social media has always been along the lines of "yeah, how about no".

** Trevor is this as a whole. He has mentioned numerous times that he's just as much of a fan as he is a performer, and that going from being the token socially-awkward kid who was into the more underground side of metal in high school to touring and playing shows with all the acts that he grew up on plus being able to use his now-famous name to call attention to up-and-coming underground acts that he loves is a dream come true.

It was to the point that after he took his life, many underground bands who paid tribute to him said that if you didn't feel like anyone cared about your work, Trevor probably did.

* MagnumOpusDissonance: While ''Nocturnal'' is the prevailing fan favorite (and certainly their [[BreakthroughHit watershed album]]), it is not Trevor's favorite, as he placed it below ''Unhallowed'', ''Nightbringers'', and ''Ritual''. ''Ritual'', meanwhile, is somewhat divisive among the fanbase, but Trevor loves it for its variety, experimentation, and overarching concept, and has stated that out of the albums that they have yet to do full-album tours for, it is the only one that he would really jump at the chance to play in full. Lastly, while many fans (especially older fans) cite ''Miasma'' as one of their favorites (sometimes their absolute favorite), Trevor himself dislikes the album and sees it as one large collection of ideas that looked better on paper and a general case of SophomoreSlump.
