** "Don't Blow Your Top" consists entirely of lyrics from Music/FrankZappa songs. "Conceptual continuity" is mentioned in "Inane" and "Kunst." "Conceptual continuity" is what Zappa called it when he made references to his own songs.

The band usually has a revolving lineup - to the point that they were practically an industrial {{Supergroup}} in the late '90s - formed around Konietzko, but Lucia Cifarelli and Andy Selway have also been consistent members since 2002. Konietzko is the only member to appear on every album.

* ContemptibleCover: ''Kunst'''s cover features a topless woman cutting a Christian cross in half with a chainsaw. When the cover for the album was announced on the band's Website/{{Facebook}} page, it was actually deleted because it violated the terms of use.
** Many of their covers feature someone being murdered or [[JustForPun attacked.]]
** The cover of ''Naive'' features two people having sex outdoors.
** The compilation ''Agogo'' features the silhouette of a nude woman dancing over a factory with bombers flying overhead. This is one of the tamer ones.
** Their ''Greatest Shit'' compilation has two nude women firing guns.
** ''Don't Blow Your Top'' has a giant headless nude woman walking outside of an erupting volcano.
** ''Greatest Shit / Wurst'' has two nude women firing weapons.
** ''WTF?!'' has a woman with a lighted-up {{dynamite candle}} between her breasts. You make the correlations.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: The early stuff isn't even applicable, due to (mostly) lacking guitars. The later (''UAIOE'' onwards) mostly hovers around 6-7, with a few (i.e. "A Drug Against War," "Son of a Gun") going up to the 8-10 range and a few (i.e. "Stray Bullet," "Achtung!") around 4-5.
** The hidden track on ''Nihil'' is a pretty standard 11.
