Dorset, England, UK (1993 – present)

Electric Wizard are a doom metal band from Dorset, England, UK.

The oblivion and ecstasy of crushing doom and high grade marijuana, a sonic aural trip far, far away from this world, where only cyclopean walls of crackling vintage valve amplifiers set to the full overdrive and primal ritualistic beats can wash away all the filth and drudgery of everyday life. Their music can be described as Doom Metal. Their sound is a crushing behemoth of funeral march psychedelia. Violent, bleak and ritualistic.

Born in Dorset, England in 1993, in a quiet country town, initially they were the product of frustration, unemployment and excessive drug abuse. But through hallucinogenic experimentation and occult sciences they realized their true potential. A celebration of outre low brow art like Weird Tales, 70’s horror and B-movies, head shop art, drug comix, italian pornohorror comics, Crepax, Lovecraft, Howard etc. etc…coupled with a morbid fascination in cults, witchcraft, freemasonry, biker culture, mysticism and ancient occult sciences and how these dark arts can be applied to music.

Their history actually starts in 1988 when Justin Oborn created a doom-influenced death metal band called Lord Of Putrefaction. The above mentioned band released only several demos but it showed the unique talent of Justin Oborn in the art of creating heavy slow riffs.

    I think "dank", or "doom" fit better.

    There is only one way to describe this band: rancid.

    http://freedownloads.last.fm/download/579929235/Journeys%2BUpon%2BNight%2527s%2BGloom.mp3 It's not metal, but probably many of you might like it (especialy the second half of it) because I'm really inspired by doom metal in creating such songs. and please, PLEASE give me your feedback on my user page.

    Good thing that nuisance is gone, let's get back to talking about Electric Wizard. I hope the new album is more ambient doom.
