Alrighty then. For those of you who like Sunn O))) or Boris or the Melvins or maybe Cathedral, anyone along that string of trippy assortments that grumbles behind the door of the rolling thunder that is doom then Electric Wizard are for you.

The band are very sluggish in their sound. They have chugging riffs and a sloppy sound with semi distant vocals. Some of the guitar work is brilliant amoungst all the heavy distorted bass and the drumming is above average but nothing too noticible as the bass and guitar play hugely in this band.

Originally were classified as Doom Metal with their opening album called Come My Fanatics, but later on were classed also as stoner rock for their advancement on their sound of sluggish oozing riffs. Many songs are long, often up around 8 minutes but they have some shorter snippets too at around 4 minutes. Some gooduns to check out:

Supercoven
Demon Lung
Wooden Pipe
Funeralopolis

Any fans already?
