Discography:

The Unchained provide examples of the following tropes:
- Cover Version: Innocence Lost features a cover of "A Bullet In The Head" by Anarchy Club.
- Deal with the Devil: It's implied that a woman makes one in "Voodoo" to kill her abuser.
- "Psycho" Strings: The main riff of "Marked" utilizes pinch chords played on two guitars in unison to create this effect.
- Sequel Song: "1313" is this to the Elvis Presley song "In The Ghetto".
- Shout-Out: In the lyric video for "The Missing Link," during the guitar solo, a wall of text flashes on the screen amidst other effects. Careful investigation reveals that it reads "yob das a nahte sekam yalp on dna krow lla" or rather... "all work and no play makes ethan a sad boy."
- Stylistic Suck: The drums on "Heroine", as they were performed by Anderson rather than an actual drummer, and are supposed to represent the erratic heartbeat and consciousness of someone on drugs.
- Zombie Infectee: "Marked" details the final thoughts of one.
