2010 album from the British Doom Metal band. Still the heaviest band on the planet, this time around there is a stronger emphasis on song structure and musicianship than on previous outings. Black Masses is an encyclopedia referencing the history o Heavy Metal from the Kinks to right through to Bathory,

Black Masses is one of THE best albums (metal or not) of the last few years. It's a masterpiece of atmospheric doom. Jus' lyrics are awesome. He's up there with Ozzy during his Sabbath days

but this album's charm is its loving care of all things doom, never forgetting his Blackness Tony Iommi, the true Godfather of all things metal, at least in the guitar department.




Now, that's all camp. Electric Wizard echo the sickest bends Iommi produced, and make fine doom metal,
Stoner heaven, or hell, if you prefer, with riffs as big as landslides and about as fast. It's a good release and somewhat refreshing in the face of all the metalcore screaming going on.



Electric Wizard - Black Mass

this is beyond words . . . it's monolthic.





Electric Wizard - Turn Off Your Mind

Sounds a lot like Sabbath and Liz Buckingham is hot.
