The concept of [[Wikipedia:Yin and yang|yin and yang]] is very prominent in their music by fusing many opposites together (for example, calm traditional folk instrumentation with heavy metal and female vocals with male ones). They are also a very theatrical act, and they are also notable for their powerful female and male duo vocals and at times [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden|Iron Maiden]]-inspired guitar riffs.
