The band 's lyrics treat Satanism and other topics typical for black metal . Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic claimed that " While many of the Norwegian black metal bands of the early 1990s were taking themselves so seriously that heinous acts of murder , church burnings , and the like wound up stealing more headlines than their actual music , Sweden 's Nifelheim were shrewdly still treating the genre 's Satanic silliness with the appropriate tongue-in-cheek tone . On the surface , this was illustrated by their cartoonish album covers and traditional black metal ' uniform , ' consisting of the necessary leather and spikes , bullet belts , pentagrams , and inverted crucifixes . " Nifelheim rejected this characterization and cited it as a reason for ceasing to give interviews anymore
