I'd only heard a little bit from them prior to their latest album, namely because Clark remixed one several years back and it sounded great. I remember checking out the album Get Color as a result, but it didn't do much for me. Years passed without me thinking of them, and when Death Magic was announced it seemed interesting. When I actually started listening to it, I found it pretty damn cheesy to be honest. I don't remember everything that rubbed me the wrong way but part of it was the metal bits in some or most of the songs. I don't think it worked and found it pretty corny. I may have also found the vocals lame or something. I should probably give at least the samples a quick listen to jog my memory, but the album was not at all as dark as they think it is. Honestly, it kept giving me Hot Topic vibes.
I'd call their sound synthpunk/noise pop/electropop.
