Njengoba imisebenzi yokuhlubuka ngokuvamile ihamba, kube khona ukuphikiswa ngokushesha kwe-albhamu ngabezindaba abalondolozayo. Izihloko eziqukethwe ngaphakathi Inkanyezi yomphikukristu futhi umbono osindayo weqembu omelene nobuKristu wanyakazisa izinto, ukusho okuncane. Lokhu kwadala ukuduma kweqembu kuphela, okwakuzoqhubeka kuze kube maphakathi nawo-2000. Kungase kubonakale sengathi u-Marilyn Manson uyaphumelela engxabanweni, njenganoma yimuphi umculi ovukela ngempela.
