Contents

The band is noted for its lyrics, which deal with themes such as sexuality and eroticism, [1] [2] [3] [4] and are influenced by French writer Georges Bataille and psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche. [5] Musically, the band's releases feature a death metal sound based on "slow to mid-tempo, grinding grooves, interspersed with up-tempo shifts, and a bellowing, enunciated growl." [5]

The band's third studio album, Hole Below, was listed as number 19 on Pitchfork's list of "The Best Metal Albums of 2015." [6]
