Line 35:
* [[Harsh Vocals]]: On every album except ''Gallows Gallery''. Interestingly, Mikannibal's harsh vocals are usually lower-pitched than Mirai's on ''Scenes from Hell''; on ''In Somniphobia'', she employs a larger variety of vocal styles and can be either higher- or lower-pitched than Mirai, depending on which style she is utilising.
* [[Loudness War]]: Most of their albums to some extent, but the two worst offenders: ''Hangman's Hymn'' has a ReplayGain value of -12.53 dB, and ''Scenes from Hell'' has a value of -12.93 dB. Bloody hell. ''In Somniphobia'' appears to be mixed somewhat more quietly, with a value of -9.12 dB (at least on the mp3 version that has leaked; however, this may be due to the large number of lengthy ambient interludes, which probably drag the ReplayGain value up somewhat). Really, everything the band released on CD after 2000 is affected by this trope pretty badly, except, oddly, the original mix of ''Gallows Gallery'' (which is basically the only advantage it has over the remaster, which is much clearer in every other respect). This includes remasters of their earlier albums, such as ''Scorn Defeat''.
* [[Metal Scream]]: Both Mirai and Mika use this as their primary vocal style to the point where their vocals are usually pretty much indistinguishable. An exception to this is ''Gallows Gallery'', which contains entirely sung rather than screamed vocals. However, [[SopranoandSoprano and Gravel]] is not uncommon on their recent black metal albums either, as clean vocals are used in a number of their songs since ''Imaginary Sonicscape'''s "Requiem - Nostalgia", especially on ''Hangman's Hymn''.
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: Frequent on their albums, but nowhere near so much as on ''Imaginary Sonicscape'', which could also pretty much be described as musical [[Genre Roulette]], what with oddities like disco and dub reggae breaks being thrown into the middle of almost every song. Not to mention the obligatory classical snippet overlaid with what appears to be several hundred samples of giggling babies that closes the album. ''In Somniphobia'' probably doesn't carry this trope out quite as much as ''Imaginary Sonicscape'', but it's probably close.
* [[New Sound Album]]: They have several. Arguably, most entries in their discography count as this.
