No relation to the Early Access FPS of the same name.
Tropes:
- After the End: Several songs seem to take place here, such as "Borrowed Time, Borrowed Eyes" and "Fat of the Ram".
- Album Title Drop: Happens in "Stonecarver" on No Help, "The Usher" on More Constant.
- Doom Metal: Utterly apocalyptic.
- Dystopia: For This We Fought the Battle of Ages has a dystopian theme inspired by the novel We.
- Epic Rocking: Most songs on No Help, every song on More Constant where the shortest song, "Cosey Mo," is 7 minutes. It's pretty standard for their genre.
- Face Death with Dignity: "The Usher" is a song about accepting death, because all in all, we have no say.
- Folk Metal: Not their primary genre, but the influences are definitely there.
- Non-Appearing Title: "Stonecarver", "Fat of the Ram", and many others.
- Purple Prose: A well done example. Their lyrics are very poetic without ever becoming overwrought.
- Shout-Out: "Borrowed Time, Borrowed Eyes" is based on Cormac McCarthy's The Road. "Cosey Mo" is a character from a book by Nick Cave.
- The Smurfette Principle: A notable aversion. Three of the band's five members are female.
- Surprisingly Gentle Song: The closing track on More Constant, "No Safe Harbor," is a moving song about lost love set to piano and flute. The guitars do kick in about halfway through, but it's still a far cry from the last 50 minutes of apocalyptic doom.
