news: ELECTRIC WIZARD will release double live to tape album „Black Magic Rituals and Perversions Vol. 1“ on December 13th

Spinefarm have it confirmed that legendary British doom outfit, Electric Wizard, will release ‘Black Magic Rituals and Perversions Vol. 1,’ their new 2 disc live-to-tape album, on December 13th 2024.
Recorded into a 16-track tape machine, capturing their essence, their malevolence, Black Magic Rituals and Perversions Vol. 1 is as heavy as one would expect from The Wizard.

Opening with the enormous Dopethrone, and taking in signature apocalyptic doom staples like Witchcult Today, Satanic Rites of Drugula and the ever-destructive Funeralopolis, the set here shows how powerful and dominating The Wizard can be.

Jus says he wanted to capture a feeling like that of Motörhead’s classic No Sleep ‚til Hammersmith (1981), or the sense from KISS’ ALIVE! (1975) that you were getting a window into something, a world the band created. It’s also, he says, an opportunity for a band as big and cult-like as Electric Wizard to bring something from metal’s dirty underbelly into the light, if only for the purposes of freaking out the unprepared.
A soundtrack to the end of the world? Come this way, my fanatics. Electric F*cking Wizard awaits…
