Performances by the band are often full-scale productions, with the band often bringing their own lighting crew, equipment, props, costumes and volunteer cast of actors. The band's performances often feature themes of control, greed, vanity, torture, fatalism and helplessness. During the band's Recurse years, Eschar would often be "tormented" by various masked figures throughout the performance. The theatrics often make liberal use of stage blood and feature strange contraptions and masks sculpted and created by Eschar himself. Recently the group has taken a more dystopian and apocalyptic style in regards to their stage presentation.
Late 2010 saw a marked change in the band's Modus Operandi, as they began moving away from their previous influences and began to incorporate more modern elements into their overall sound. Both Eschar and (c.) Grendel have cited the reasoning as being a desire to not be compared to their influences, and to grow as musicians, as well as have the music more accurately articulate their ideas. ''"I've personally found that I have begun to open up more as an artist... We want to come into our own... the old sound, that Skinny Puppy, FLA influence was a great place to start... but we aren't them. When I started this I had no idea how to articulate my ideas, and I was drawn to these bands as if they were mentors of sorts, but it's time for us to grow and change and our music should reflect more of who we are rather than who we like "'' - Mod Eschar, October 2010
