Photo by E. Segarra RECENT NEWS! World-class British doom metal band ELECTRIC WIZARD will release its long-awaited new album Black Masses in North America on January 18 via Rise Above Records. The legendary group's seventh studio album, Black Masses was recorded with Grammy Award-winning British recording engineer Liam Watson (The White Stripes) in London's Toe Rag Studios. Today, Stereogum premieres the wicked new ELECTRIC WIZARD song "Turn off Your Mind", calling the track "multi-layered stoner swirl". Check out "Turn off Your Mind" now at this location. Long hailed as the true heirs to Black Sabbath, ELECTRIC WIZARD have achieved near iconic status in the metal underground. Now, in league with Satan himself, ELECTRIC WIZARD prepares to annihilate the planet with Black Masses, its "dark prayer to Luciferian heavy metal" via crackling, vintage valve amplifiers set to full overdrive. Pre-release excitement for the record is boosted by the band's appearance on the cover of the February issue of Decibel magazine, which hits newsstands today. To order the issue and read the ELECTRIC WIZARD cover story ("Why this Doom Mob Rules"), simply visit this location.

"Sabbath, Satan, and Lovecraft-nodding...the collection was produced in analog by Liam Watson. And, as in the past, the feedback will blow out your speakers while everything else hypnotizes. Get a taste of those amplifiers" - STEREOGUM
"For those who crave Sabbath-like dirges, Electric Wizard has few peers." - THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"the most critically acclaimed band of their kind since Black Sabbath. 'Black Masses' is like Stonehenge on wheels, hurtling downhill and slamming through the side of your house; it will fuck you up." - DECIBEL
