19!The Unchained provide examples of the following tropes:
20* CoverVersion: ''Innocence Lost'' features a cover of "A Bullet In The Head" by Music/AnarchyClub.
21* DealWithTheDevil: It's implied that a woman makes one in "Voodoo" to kill her abuser.
22%%* DescentIntoAddiction: "Heroine".
23%%* DrugsAreBad: "Heroine" again.
24%%* EpicRocking: "Heroine" at 7:24.
25%%* HarshVocals: Used in "A Bullet In The Head".
26%%* InspiredBy: "The Missing Link" recounts the plot of ''Film/AClockworkOrange''.
27%%* IntercourseWithYou: "My Disease".
28%%* LastNoteNightmare: "Heroine".
29%%* NightmareFuel: The Unchained seem to thrive on it, from the lyrical content and the tone of their music to their music videos.
30* PsychoStrings: The main riff of "Marked" utilizes pinch chords played on two guitars in unison to create this effect.
31* SequelSong: "1313" is this to the Music/ElvisPresley song "In The Ghetto".
32* ShoutOut: In the lyric video for "The Missing Link," during the guitar solo, a wall of text flashes on the screen amidst other effects. Careful investigation reveals that it reads [[Main/SdrawkcabName "yob das a nahte sekam yalp on dna krow lla"]] or rather... [[Film/TheShining "all work and no play makes ethan a sad boy."]]
33* StylisticSuck: The drums on "Heroine", as they were performed by Anderson rather than an actual drummer, and are supposed to represent the erratic heartbeat and consciousness of someone on drugs.
34* ZombieInfectee: "Marked" details the final thoughts of one.
