* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: Invoked, many riffs are simply altered versions of already played riffs, however the tempo and rhythm changes significantly as well as some minor details. Very little flashy technical play, in the spirit of the Second Wave.

Norwegian/British BlackMetal musician mostly known for previously making harsh noise music and dark ambient under the name Vivisectionist Exhibitionist, as well as numerous guitar covers ranging from Music/{{Deathspell Omega}} to Music/{{Porcupine Tree}}. Taking the name from the closing track of Music/{{Pyrrhon}}'s What Passes for Survival, Empty Tenement Spirit makes an incredibly raw, experimental style of Black Metal that harkens back to the Second Wave, but not entirely. Clean Vocals are the primary vocal style, harsh distorted guitars that sound like a mixture of black metal and noise rock, as well as lyrics focusing on such topics as vengeful gods, deforestation, and emotional DarkAndTroubledPast subjects.

* CapitalismIsBad: "Lunatic Shuffling" tells of a society where everybody simply wakes up to continue the "dance" but not really knowing why, or knowing anybody else that they're dancing with, as well as expressing feigned hope in the leadership of the society. The song gets noticeably more off beat and clumsy as it progresses, complete with Spirits vocals being slurred and clean-sung, to symbolise being lost in the meaningless pursuits of the world.

!! Empty Tenement Spirit contains examples of:

* AlbumIntroTrack: "Lamentum" is the closest example, as a short piece centering around a brief guitar intro with organ accompaniment, with the rest of the song being an Organ/Choir section.
* AnonymousBand: Not as extreme as some bands, as the artist has shown their face numerous times in various videos, however their name is not revealed as yet.
* BilingualBonus: Occasional, "Sympatiske gatespøkelser minner" is titled in Norwegian and opens with a short Norwegian vocal intro.
* DarkIsEvil[=/=]DarkIsNotEvil: Discussed in "Wherein a Wooded Arch...", concerning a vengeful God bringing ruin onto human civilization because of deforestation and other similar behaviours.
* DroneOfDread: Done usually to mark transitions between song sections, or occasionally within the sections themselves.
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Lamentum", natch.
* EpicRocking: Not the rule, but "Sympatiske gatespøkelser minner" runs for 6 minutes and 29 seconds.
* GodIsEvil: Invoked in both [[SelfDeprecation "Sympatiske gatespøkelser minner"]] and "Wherein a Wooded Arch...". But for completely different reasons.
* GreenAesop: Somewhat evident in "Wherein a Wooded Arch...".
* GutturalGrowler: Occasionally, heard in each song they have sung in so far.
* HarshVocals: See above.
* HeavyMetal
* IAmTheBand: Empty Tenement Spirit is the only member.
* IndecipherableLyrics: Because of the raw recording method, the lyrics are usually not the easiest to follow. However, every video comes with lyrics in the description to avert this.
* TheLostWoods: "Wherein a Wooded Arch..." sort of.
* MetalScream
* MindScrew: "Sympatiske gatespøkelser minner" centers of a mentally unstable individual who destroyed their most meaningful relationship solely out of delusions and paranoia.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Occasionally.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: 7-10, with "Lamentum" reaching a 5 for most of the song's length.
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: UpToEleven, there is no bass whatsoever.
* OminousLatinChanting: "Lamentum" repeated endlessly throughout the track of the same name.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: "Sympatiske gatespøkelser minner" contains at least 5 synonyms of the word "bright". Spirit tends to write in a mixture of informal and also flowery vocabulary.
* StageNames: The artist name, naturally.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: In all three currently released songs, there are at least 2-3 sections in each song where the heaviness dies down and is replaced either by ethereal choir, guitar, or even an Organ/Choir section in "Lamentum".
* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: Invoked, many riffs are simply altered versions of already played riffs, however the tempo and rhythm changes significantly as well as some minor details. Very little flashy technical play, in the spirit of the Second Wave.
