15	!Tropes:
16	* BilingualBonus: The chorus of "Santa Muerte" contains the line "''estoy orando por ti''." In Spanish this means I'm praying ''for'' (instead of ''to'') you.
17	* DivineDate: "Lucifer, My Love" is a SillyLoveSong about Lucifer.
18	* FemmeFatale: "Femme Fatale" (an original song, not a Music/VelvetUnderground cover), ''naturellement'', reflects on the nature of this trope and its demonisation of female sexuality.
19	* GratuitousFrench: The final line of "Femme Fatale":
20	--> "''Je suis la belle dame sans merci.''"
21	* GratuitousSpanish: Appropriately enough for a song about a Mexican folk saint, "Santa Muerte" is peppered with Spanish.
22	* HollywoodSatanism: Averted. Where other bands may use Satanism as a gimmick, Twin Temple are genuine Satanists. Their music and religious practices reflect the ideals of Satanism: the transgression of social norms and the embrace of the individual.
23	* {{Homage}}:
24	** The drum intro of "Sex Magick" closely resembles [[Music/RonnieSpector "Be My Baby."]]
25	** "Babalon" is an homage to "[[Music/TheBeachBoys Barbara Ann]]", reconceptualised to be about [[Literature/BookOfRevelation the Whore of Babylon]].
26	* HotAsHell: "Satan's a Woman".
27	* HotWitch: "Sex Magick", "I Know How to Hex You", "I'm Wicked" and "I Am a Witch" are all songs about being a sexually liberated witch.
28	* {{Instrumentals}}: "In Lux" and "In Nox".
29	* LouisCypher: In "Satan's A Woman" she says we can call her Lucy.
30	* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted. Many of their songs make reference to menstruation.
31	** "I'm Wicked" opens with the line "I love bleeding/ under the full moon."
32	** "I Am a Witch": "When I bleed/ [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink I put it in your coffee]]."
33	** "Satan's A Woman": "I make my own money/ I make my own blood/ and I always get both on the first of the month."
34	* OminousLatinChanting: The chorus of "Ave Satanas!" in "Sex Magick", though the style is less Gregorian chant and more 50s' pop.
35	%%* SatanIsGood
36	* SexMagic: "Sex Magick" mixes IntercourseWithYou with occult imagery.
37	* SpokenWordInMusic: The middle of "Lucifer, My Love" is delivered as love letter to Satan, in the style of
