The actual cover for the album for the Electric Wizard song is fairly different.

I knew it was from Dopethrone but I felt awkward saying "the thumbnails are similar" cause the Shining cover isn't exactly a thumbnail...but leave it to my autistically convoluted social skills to not pull through in the end.

I've always enjoyed the 1995 debut despite the massive influence they take from Cathedral. I haven't listened to it in quite awhile though so my opinion of it may change after another listen-through. Dopethrone was a definitely better followup in every category- I know that for a fact.

They're stylistically influenced by Candlemass, but EW's magic is in the walls of distortion and Candlemass ****ing wishes.

Candlemass are Black Sabbath with Mercyful Fate, especially with the first album. I mean "A Sorcerer's Pledge" is definitely a Mercyful Fate song by way of Sabbath. Electric Wizard are Black Sabbath with... a bunch of other ****. I don't even know what other **** but they heard some cool ****ing **** so that's nice.

As far as doom metal goes, Saint Vitus is one of the best:

If EW isn't your favourite doom band, you probably just need to listen to them louder.

Know what my favourite doom band is? You guessed right! It's Lumbar.

Not as good as their stuff from a decade ago
("A Caress of the Void" "Antithesis of Light"),
but still a good, solid listen on repeat.

Man, I've had that song stuck in by brain for like a full year after I first got the album.

It's been stuck in my head since I first heard it several years ago, easily my favorite Annihilator song. The album as a whole though is so fun and addicting.
