Release Notes:

When Electric Wizard first emerged, seemingly fully formed from the hallowed
wombs of the doom metal gods (well, Dorset, England, anyway), all most
listeners could do was stand in dumbfounded awe -- such was the power and
magnitude with which the trio delivered its monolithic epics. Taking up the
torch from doom pioneers like Saint Vitus, Sleep, and more recently Britain's
own Cathedral, the eternally stoned-out trio went about setting a new standard
for slothful, detuned heavy metal noisemaking; yet -- amazingly, compared to
subsequent efforts -- their eponymous debut's crushing wall of sludge would
soon seem almost lightweight. Most of the songs on Electric Wizard crawl along
at a snail's pace, their mind-numbing riffs exploring the lowest imaginable
sonic frequencies still within human range. Except for the trippy space rock
guitar of "Mountains of Mars," the entire record revels in the purest,
uncompromising post-Sabbath doom metal dirge, a great part of which may prove
too sluggish and impenetrable for inexperienced listeners. But for
knowledgeable consumers of the genre, weed-worshipping anthems like "Stone
Magnet," "Devil's Bride," and the group's awesome namesake, "Electric Wizard"
(which is introduced by a long, highly suspicious exhaled breath), amount to a
mind-shattering experience...prepare to be enlightened.
