Line 70:
* [[Green Aesop]]: "This is the Time", "Deep Water Horizon"
* [[Harsh Vocals]]: Mark Jansen always grunts, growls and screams.
* [[Heartbeat Soundtrack]]: "Beyond Belief" —a song about death and what might or might not come after—uses a fading heartbeat as a [[Last -Note Nightmare]].
* [[Heavy Mithril]]: A fair amount of their songs fall into this category with the combination of social commentary. Their earlier videos for "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UOJ5U0jY9k&feature=related The Phantom Agony]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha1hWAcnMdQ Feint]" oozes the stuff as well.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: [[Kamelot|Roy Khan]] on "Trois Verges" (from ''Consign to Oblivion'') and [[Sonata Arctica|Tony Kakko]] on "White Waters" (from ''Design Your Universe'').
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: "Semblance of Liberty"
* [[Idiosyncratic Album Theming]] - See [[Epic Rocking]] above
Line 83:
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: Who do you think?
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Every album. Good examples include "Martyr of the Free World", "Fools of Damnation" and "Serenade of Self-Destruction."
* [[One -Woman Wail]]: Occurs frequently in their songs including "Quietus" and "Twin Flames".
* [[One of Us]]: Simone, Mark and Coen are self-declared fans of [[Monty Python]]. They, along with Arien, are also fans of the [[Lord of the Rings]] trilogy
* [[Power Ballad]]: "Tides of Time", "Delirium", "Solitary Ground".
Line 90:
* [[Singing Voice Dissonance]]: Simone drops her relatively strong Dutch accent when she sings.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Pretty cynical.
* [[SopranoandSoprano and Gravel]].
* [[Specs of Awesome]]: Coen Janssen.
* [[Spoken Word in Music]]: ''This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today'', spoken by [[Tony Blair]] in "Facade Of Reality"
Line 97:
* [[Take That]]: "Run for a Fall", it was a harsh critique of After Forever's change in sound.
** "Requiem for the Indifferent" takes aim at many a person/situation.
* [[Truck DriversDriver's Gear Change]]: Similar to Nightwish's use to showcase the operatic voice of Simone Simons. Played straight in their singles "Solitary Ground", "Unleashed" and "Storm the Sorrow", amongst others. Inverted, however, in "The Last Crusade and "Chasing the Dragon" where the key signature changes to a different key towards the end of the song and back again.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Mark, much to the fangirls' glee.
* [[Working With the Ex]]: Simone was Mark's girlfriend when she joined the band, but both of them remain despite breaking up some time ago.
