ELECTRIC WIZARD SCRATCHES OUR ITCH FOR NEO-SABBATH DOOM

Electric Wizard

Our pals over at Crustcake have posted a retrospective on ’90s UK doom masters Electric Wizard, recently reformed after breaking up in 2002. Back with a new lineup in which Jus Oborn is the only original member (though he’s added his wife, Liz Buckingham on guitar), the band released a new record last month, Witchcult Today on Candlelight Records.

Head on over to Crustcake for some mp3s that will make your bowels rumble (actually… maybe it’s the coffee I just drank…) and a more detailed look at the band and their new album.

    Yeah, I only got into these guys relatively recently but it’s good stuff. Think Sabbath on codeine & beer minus the love vibe.

  8. TTquick says:

    Love the tone and tar pit vibe but the vocals aren’t ballsy enough for me to really embrace it.

  9. [...] shit about this band? ‘Cause, seriously, I’d much rather listen to some Hidden Hand or Electric Wizard. I mean, seriously – look at that band photo. Doesn’t that just annoy the shit out of [...]
