Release Notes:

Upon its release, Electric Wizard's excellent debut carved a Titanic-sized
swathe through the heavy metal landscape, burying much that had come before
under an avalanche of amp distortion, detuned riffs, and billows of marijuana
smoke. And yet, impossible as it may seem, the band's absolutely colossal
second effort, Come My Fanatics..., while somewhat less immediate than its
predecessor, somehow upped the sonic ante through a wall of sludge so thick
that even the most experienced of metal heads couldn't help but be overwhelmed
by its power. Opening number "Return Trip" is quite simply a heavy metal
landmark, from its sudden, feedback-induced (and bowel-releasing) opening
chord to the anguished screams of main man Jus Oborn through to its final
coughing denouement ten minutes later. The barely discernible lyrics to second
track "Wizard in Black" (another monster at eight minutes) gradually emerge
from the trio's cyclopean grind, intoning "I am a God...I am the One" -- and
by gum if by now you're not ready to believe just that! Ensuing acid-metal
behemoths like "Doom-Mantia" and "Son of Nothing" (the album's shortest track
at almost seven minutes) will test the patience of uninitiated listeners
before drifting into focus through billowing clouds of smoke, but the ultimate
religious experience is well worth the lengthy conversion process. And though
less memorable, instrumentals like "Ivixor B/Phase Inducer," (a full-fledged
space rock feedback freakout) and closer "Solarian 13" slot right into the
album's imposing mass. Essential doom.
