* RecurringRiff: The riff at the fade-out of "The March of the War Elephants" is reprised for the fade-in of "The Wrath of the War Elephants".

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Mostly a 7 or an 8. Probably some of their songs are a 6 or a 9.

* SpokenWordInMusic: In "Apocalyptic Riders", the single version of "Slave of Satan", and some other songs.

* MusicalPastiche: They’re fond of inserting tributes to their favourite acts into their songs. “Aleister” includes a section reminiscent of Music/LedZeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused.” “The Wandering Jew” at 9:00-11:00 contains a tribute to Witchfinder General’s “Friends of Hell.”

Reverend Bizarre were a traditional DoomMetal band from Lohja, Finland. Following the footsteps of Music/{{Pentagram}}, Music/SaintVitus, and Music/BlackSabbath, they played slow and heavy traditional doom with dramatic vocals, which made them one of the biggest names in the fourth wave of traditional doom. However, their music also incorporated a sense of humour that isn't commonly found in the genre. The band initially planned five full-length albums, but this plan was abandoned when they decided to disband the group "before it started to suck". The band members still play together in Peter Vicar's ProgressiveRock band Orne, and individual band members have formed groups such as The Puritan, Opium Warlords, and Lord Vicar, which have released songs initially intended for Reverend Bizarre's last two albums.

* Albert Witchfinder - Bass, Vocals
* Peter Vicar - Guitars
* Earl of Void - Drums, Guitars (on some recordings)

* BookEnds: ''Return to the Rectory'' begins with "The March of the War Elephants" and ends with "The Wrath of the War Elephants", and, perhaps unsurprisingly, also opens and closes with the same riff.

* BlatantLies: ''Harbinger of Metal'' and ''Return to the Rectory'' are marketed as [=EPs=], but they're both more than an hour long.

* MusicalPastiche: They’re fond of inserting tributes to famous acts into their songs. “Aleister” includes a section reminiscent of Music/LedZeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused.” “The Wandering Jew” at 9:00-11:00 contains a tribute to Witchfinder General’s “Friends of Hell.”

* CoverVersion: Amongst others, "Dunkelheit" by Music/{{Burzum}}, "Dark Sorceress (Autumn Siege)" by Barathrum, and "Gate of Nanna" by ''Beherit.''

* EpicRocking: Their speciality. Their longest song, "They Used Dark Forces/Teutonic Witch", is nearly thirty minutes long. Even if you count that as two songs (which it sort of is), two of the other songs on that album, "Anywhere Out of This World" and "Sorrow", are over twenty-five. Their average song length is about ten.
