History YMMV / ElectricWizard

* HypeBacklash: ''Dopethrone'', [[OvershadowedByAwesome virtually eclipsing the rest of their career,]] is the target of this. A common criticism is how disjointed and meandering the album is - even by Doom standards - and some fans point out its incredibly dense sound [[OlderThanTheyThink was already a thing]] on ''Come My Fanatics...''.

* HypeBacklash: ''Dopethrone'' gets this by newer fans. It's been praised so much as to [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadow the rest of their career]], being criticized for being disjointed and meandering even by Doom standards, united by its incredibly dense sound.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Some parts of "Dopethrone" sound like Music/BlackSabbath's "Iron Man."
** More recently, they've adopted part of the main riff of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" to "Black Mass."

Not to mention that their very name is a mishmash of two Black Sabbath song titles, so they're pretty much {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing it.

* EpicRiff: "Dunwich" has an absolutely crushing, bluesy one as its component hook. Other good examples include "Behemoth," "Electric Wizard," "Wizard in Black," "Funeralopolis," and "Dopethrone."

* AwesomeMusic: Lots of it. ''Come My Fanatics...'', ''Dopethrone'', and ''Witchcult Today'' stand out as particularly strong releases.

* {{Narm}}: The lyrics of "Satanic Rites of Drugula" are NightmareRetardant at its finest, though it's made a bit more creepy once you find out its FridgeHorror - it's about a man artificially transformed into a beast by his master/mistress, the latter of whom injects their victims with dope before his/her subject kills them.
