!The Ruins of Beverast provides examples of:
* AlbumIntroTrack: "Apologia" on ''Blood Vaults - The Blazing Gospel of Heinrich Kramer''.
* {{Ambient}}: Some of the shorter tracks and interludes fall into this.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Alexander Von Meilenwald''.
* BadassBaritone: Alexander has one, and makes good use of it in his music.
* CoverVersion: Covered Beherit, Music/DeadCanDance, Music/DepecheMode, Music/MyDyingBride and Music/PinkFloyd.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Cover art for ''Unlock the Shrine'' and ''Rain upon the Impure''.
* EpicRocking: A typical [=TRoB=] song is at least eight minutes in length, often surpassing ten and beyond. While this trope was already present on ''Unlock the Shrine'', it didn't take full effect until ''Rain upon the Impure''. Many tracks that don't fall into this are album intros and "transitional" tracks between longer pieces.
* GratuitousLatin: Pops up occasionally in the lyrics.
* HarshVocals: Alexander uses a variety of harsh vocal techniques, some of which sound especially monstrous, even by black metal standards.
* IAmTheBand: Alexander von Meilenwald, the sole member, composer and performer on all studio records.
* IndecipherableLyrics: On older records especially, not helped by copious amounts of reverb. Downplayed on the more recent releases.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Solid 10 overall, barring some interludes.
* NobleSavage: ''Exuvia'' has a strong Native American/tribal theme.
* OminousLatinChanting: Rarely Latin, but ''always'' ominous.
* ReligionRantSong: A common lyrical theme. ''Blood Vaults - The Blazing Gospel of Heinrich Kramer'' is a whole album directed at titular Heinrich Kramer, author of the infamous ''Literature/MalleusMaleficarum''.
* {{Sampling}}: Movie samples sometimes appear in the songs, i.e. the chanting in "Blood Vaults (I - Thy Virginal Malodour)" is taken from the film adaptation of ''Literature/TheNameOfTheRose''.
* StartMyOwn: Von Meilenwald formed The Ruins of Beverast after the breakup of his previous band, Nagelfar.
