1* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mauro was something of this: he stayed behind the scenes even though he was a founding member, but his jawdropping speed, power, precision, and control made him a fan favorite and invited comparisons to [[Music/{{Nile}} George Kollias]].
2* EpilepticTrees: Of the NightmareFuel variety: The cover art for ''Disturbance''. What is that? A dying person? A crawling slave? [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking A newborn baby?]] Debates are continuing.
3* GrowingTheBeard: ''The Vile Conception'' is often considered by fans as the true debut album.
4* SeasonalRot: ''Cast the First Stone''. While plenty of people would also call ''Regicide'' this, it has its fair share of defenders. The same can't be said for the former, as it is almost universally disliked and viewed as a boring mid-paced slog with absolutely nothing memorable.
5* SignatureSong: "Misconception"
6* VindicatedByHistory: As well as SequelDisplacement; The first two albums aren't talked about much, and when they are, they're not seen as anything too impressive. Their signing onto Unique Leader Records for ''The Vile Conception'', in addition to lineup changes, helped them with their popularity a bit.
7* WinBackTheCrowd: ''Misotheism''. ''Regicide'' was something of a ContestedSequel, but it had its fans, while ''Cast the First Stone'' is almost universally disliked and was called their worst album by many fans. ''Misotheism'', on the other hand, has been praised as the best release since at least ''Sedition'', if not ''Paradogma'' and was lauded for its return to their fast-paced blackened brutal death style from that era.
