* GeniusBonus: ''The Formulas of Death'' is filled with references to the UsefulNotes/{{Kabbalah}}, particularly in connection to Myth/{{Lilith}}, although her name is never directly spoken. Specifically for the former, the artwork in the lyric booklet on songs 9, 10, and 11 prominently feature the "three mothers", Shin Mem Aleph, respectively. It's said that God breathed those letters into the to birth women, and Shin Aleph Mem to birth men. As for the latter, Lilith is spoken of as the "nightside womb" and "the dark side of the moon" in "Wanderer in the Outer Darkness", referring to her role as a ruler of the two lowest Qliphothic spheres, and her name comes from the same etymological root as the track "לילה". Further, the track "Rånda" quotes Goethe's take on the Myth/{{Faust}} legend directly referencing her, and representations of her can be found in the artwork, oftentimes nude and faceless, other times with a serpentine motif.

** ''The Children of the Night'' and ''Down Below'' have no shortage of this, either. The tracks "Melancholia" and "Strains of Horror" from the former make reference to merging with the Jungian shadow, while "Holy Libations" references Pan and Dionysus of Myth/ClassicalMythology without directly namedropping them. Likewise, the allusions to Jung are also visited in the song "Cries from the Underworld", is comprised of quotes paraphrased from artist Paul Klee, about drawing influence from the unconscious.
** "The Wilderness", the final track from ''Where the Gloom Becomes Sound'', is about the Kundalini chakras. A more in-depth explanation can be found [[https://genius.com/Tribulation-the-wilderness-lyrics here]]. Also a case of AuthorAppeal, as Adam Zaars is a practicing Hindu.

* FaceOfTheBand: Adam Zaars and Jonathan Hultén tend to be seen as such, being the primary driving force behind the band's lyrics and participating in interviews. Doesn't help that Adam has some previous fame from having played with [[Music/GhostBand Tobias Forge]] in Forge's old death metal band Repugnant.

* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: "לילה" off of ''The Formulas of Death''. It's a simple, comforting LonelyPianoPiece with tinges of synth that contrasts with the majority of the album in its peacefulness. "Purgatorio" from ''Down Below'' and "Lethe" from ''Where the Gloom Becomes Sound'' are similar in that regard.

* {{Squick}}: "Crypt of Thanatophilia". The song title should say enough, but in case it's not clear:
--> The stench of death it fills my brain\\
Rigormortic love satisfaction gained\\
In here I master what now is mine \\
