This band provides the examples of the following:
- Brutal Death Metal
- Classical Mythology: Their main lyrical theme
- Early-Installment Weirdness: They were originally going to play Thrash Metal ala Slayer.
- Former Child Star: The band-members were all still teenages when they formed.
- Four Is Death: They retired after Arisen New Era, their fourth album after an eight-year gap. Only time will tell if they release a new album following their reunion in 2023, however.
- Gorn: They put this twist on their lyrics while remaining true to their source. Given the source material, they really didn't have to do much in this regard.
- I Am the Band: Grams.
- Lead Bassist: Tom is a Type A and Type B.
- Melodic Death Metal: Colossal had this in shades.
- Metal Scream: Most prominent on Colossal
- Revolving Door Band: Grams was the only one to remain after two decades.
- Technical Death Metal: Not a full-fledged example, but they flirted with it.
