Impending Doom are followers of the Christian faith. The album title of the first album Nailed. Dead. Risen (in German: Nailed. Dead. Resurrected. ) Is about the crucifixion of Jesus and the surrounding events of his death.

The title of the song More Than Conquerors from the album (The Serpant Servant) is a reference to the Bible verse “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (German translation: But in this we overcome far for the sake of who loved us. )
