** Actually, in ''Memento Mori'' there is a certain amount of screaming, but these are usually two recordings played at the same time. One has Lacey singing, the other is screaming, with the screaming in the background. Listen to the end of "The Kind" (I'm sorry FATHER, I'm sorry SISTER, I'm sorry BROTHER...). It's easier to hear in "In the Dark" (Fill this space IDLE WORDS!!!) and (By the dark, DAMN THE DARK!!!!!), or "Swept Away" (So get this hell out get this hell OUTOUTOUT OF MY WAY!)
* OminousMusicBoxTune: "Swept Away" and "Melting (Interlude)".

Christian.



* NotChristianRock: They're a band that takes inspiration from their strong Christian beliefs, however they're not a Christian band.
** They pretty much gave up on arguing after the second album's release, though. They're also in a ChristianRock game, "Guitar Praise" (which is an obvious copy of ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''), despite not being a Christian Rock band.
*** While it's not vaguely Christian like the other album, the songs can be interpreted in different ways and they have yet to say they are a Christian Rock band.

** In fact, ''Between the Stars'' is this in sound compared to their previous albums, featuring a more straight AlternativeRock and Pop Rock sound, as opposed to the Alternative Metal and Post-Grunge of those albums.
