* IndecipherableLyrics: Generally, the singing is clean, but quiet under everything else and usually also muffled, so only a few phrases can be made out of an entire song. See HarshVocals above for how close the trope is played straight.straight.

* HollywoodSatanism: The title track from ''Black Masses'' is a Satanic ritual, an attempt to summon the Devil himself.
-->Lucifer, I summon thee to my black mass\\
I call upon you to complete my evil task\\
My heart is black and my soul is dead\\
Hear my words of hate, give me strength

* TheStoner: And unashamedly so. They casually and often mention lighting bongs, or doing just that in interviews. Heck you can even hear them hitting it up at the end of some songs, as if zoning out to gear up for the next jam. If you pay enough attention, you can even hear them lighting up during Funeralopolis.

** The band's name comes from Music/BlackSabbath -- namely, by combining two of their song titles ("''Electric'' Funeral" and "The ''Wizard''"). A further Black Sabbath ShoutOut is the cover art to the EP ''Legalise Drugs and Murder'', which looks very similar to that of Sabbath's ''Master of Reality''.

* ShoutOut: Being a stoner doom band, Electric Wizard tends to have a lot of shout outs to stoner, grindhouse, and pulp fantasy fiction. "Barbarian" is a song about, you guessed it, Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian. "I, the Witchfinder" is about the old movie ''Mark of the Devil''.

The band is best known for their albums ''Come My Fanatics...'' and ''Dopethrone''. Both are considered staples in the stoner metal genre with the latter of the two notably receiving a perfect score from [=AllMusic=], a rating that the site rarely gives to modern albums, especially modern metal albums.

* EpicRocking: Most of their output, to the point where it's much, much easier to count the tracks that are less than five minutes in length. Amongst their full-length albums, the longest tracks are "Weird Tales" and "Saturn's Children", both around fifteen minutes in length. ("Dopethrone" and "Mind Transferral" on various editions of ''Dopethrone'' are slight subversions, each containing a hidden track after several minutes of silence, though they're both around ten minutes even without the hidden track.)
