Essential Albums
- One of stoner metal’s most extreme slabs, Dopethrone is a violent rebuke to anybody who mistakenly assumes that all highs are mellow. The weed-worshipping power-trio pour all manner of alienation and self-loathing into their gargantuan riff rumble. On “We Hate You,” howler Jus Oborn describes himself as a “seed of hate from the day I was born.” The band actually manage to intensify the darkness on the title cut, which offers 10 frightening, yet exhilarating, minutes of pained screams drowning in hellish low-end.

About Electric Wizard
Electric Wizard is steeped in the mythology of 1970s fringe culture. The country town of Dorset, where they formed in 1993, is as quiet as any American suburb, leaving the druggy members of Electric Wizard to make their own fun. Horror comics, Italian giallo films, the phantasmagorical fiction of Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, and the doom-laden heavy blues of Black Sabbath all helped form their sound and worldview. On murky, monolithic albums like DOPETHRONE and WITCHCULT TODAY, they explore the dark side in all of its bad trippy particulars.
