This show couldn't have started any better. the end of a long festival, it was hotter than fuck all weekend, With the sunday winding down we got to see Yob play inside the sonar, then immediately walk out to see St. Vitus playing outside, then as Vitus comes to an end the crowd makes a mass exodus to get in position to see the almighty WIZARD!!! rain began to fall, bringing cooling everybody off and setting a very eerie and perfect ambiance. the rain subsided right as they began playing. everybody was burning joints and the Wizard rammed a sonic wall of complete devastation down everyones throats. this video does not do justice to how brutally heavy and loud they were. this was hands down one of the greatest concert moments of my entire life.
Dude people dont understand how much feedback Electric Wizard are controlling, gating, phasing, turning up , turning down at the literal highest dbs They're like a whole continent as a band bundled together generating one rod of power, going back and forth between being separate and whole.
One of my greatest live show experiences EVAR! Through a dense fog of weed smoke, with a thunderstorm boiling above, Electric Wizard's droning roar smothered our metal-melted faces... & all was H E A V Y.
Dude it wasn't just a dense fog of weed smoke, we had clam baked out our block of baltimore. That storm was no joke though! This was probably the greatest set of the year other than Morbid Angel and Napalm Death. Can't wait to see these guys this year on their NA tour!
To those who say "I wish this was something else," it's not. It's Electric Wizard and it's great for the genre. They basically made the genre what it is today. And this is great. Blame the sound man or the handheld on the mix.
So much whining.. Its Electric Wizard lads.. Downtuned, slowed right down and fuzzed out.. Its also a live video which is hard to hear through the video.. Watch Such Hawks Such Hounds and youll get the picture.. Stoner Doom is slowe and repetitive.. Thats the attraction.. Its a sub genre of metal, music thats finding its way in another direction.. Its not about how fast or slow you play but I think Occult stoner doom like this taps into something primeval.. Feel the room and your body shake with each bass burst and simply lay into a slow head nod.. Just savage. Its all about the groove man.. Trev ~ Desert Rock Ireland & Fuzzed Out Radio Show..
Hell yeah. It's about creating an atmosphere, and ambiance. There's no problem in listening to this and technic death metal like Behemoth. I like both.
***** Dude, music is based entirely on opinions, you can love one band and I can hate it. Same as I like one band and you think it sucks. What I like about Behemoth is the technicity of the riffs and the lyrics. And please, can you tell why you think Behemoth sucks ?
whats with the people saying how these guys suck or how they can play guitar better? So? They can also play some pretty intricate stuff when they need to but thats not the point of stoner doom metal. not all metal is always just about kickass riffs 24/7, sometimes you just wanna kick back and light a fatty while listening to some heavy low end drones.
I have to disagree. Doom metal are about kickass riffs, but kickass in different way - without good riffs doom metal would be boring. And Electric Wizard have a whole bunch of good riffs.
I was there. Jus was checking me and boys freak out. Right next to the sound booth tent. Only remember the first 15 minutes. That bar a few blocks away is too good!
Progression isn't mandatory. Electric Wizard know what their sound is, and they stand by it because a good band doesn't need to 'progress' once they find their identity. Hail the 'Wizard.
Was there- a religious experience. No recording device can pick this up properly. Nothing can pick up those frequencies but the human aorta. The electric summer lightning raging above as they droned through my Skull with Supercoven left me speechless...
They actually almost broke up the last time they tried to tour in the US. They tried to do a North American tour in 2002, but it created a lot of tension between band members, to the point that they almost broke up. So, maybe they just shy away from a US tour because of that. Plus, I think the singer got a possession charge last time they were over this way.
I love this band and i love this type of music but i just don't have the patience to play it or write something so slow and long. So kudos to them so i don't have to and can kick back and enjoy it :)
l love the intro in this video, so heavy and dark. feels as if were conjuring up some ancient evil. lovecraft, drugs, space, horror, and satan, whats not to love?
Can anyone give me a solid reason why this band fails to do at least a small US tour? I wait and wait. And my patience is never rewarded. Guess I need to just go to the UK.
And the bassist does NOT use a pick. And they use (In my experience) the best equipment: Ludwig,Gibson,Marshall. This is the first time I have ever laid eyes on them. True talent...
The bassist is a good friend of mine, they took him on and for no reason dropped him very selfish people up there own backsides. Not relaxed but actually rather cruel 👍
The bassist is actually my dad, yeah he hates using picks, he says it’s not a proper way to play, he dosent rlly play bass anymore, but he plays guitar and yeah. He’s a cool dad, he now lives in a field with chickens lol
Probaby because his fills are rather 'odd' and she can't play with that (this is just speculation). I noticed that during the Ewiz show on Roadburn (2013) she sometimes lost track of where the song went because Mark did other fills than she was used to play with.
