+Somethingysomething Hell yes ...... slow grinders are heavier by definition, some of that chipmunk on meth shit drives me bananas ..... this is HEAVY .... like COC maybe
ex military here, I'd bump electric wizard in the engine room when we were underway cause it's the only thing that would actually drown out the diesel engines screaming at about 120 dB. I heard it OVER the diesels AND my double ear pro. Then I found Khemmis as I'm going into civillian aviation, they are perfect counterparts for those two jobs; Going down below into the heart of a 3,000 ton giant, into the sludge and intense heat of the engine room after a month long patrol? Return Trip. Taking flight in a 747 and making 350 tons of metal go airborne? Candlelight. Perfection.
"Hey dad, why's my sister named Lucy?" "You're mother really likes the song, 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds'." "Thanks dad." "No problem, Return Trip."
This band has ruined doom metal for me. I have been searching for bands that have a similar sound but I just can't find anything that compares. It's too fucking good
Listen to a band called Sleep. Pretty limited discography but listen to their song "Dopesmoker". No disrespect to Electric Wizard but that song alone crushes everything Electric Wizard has done. Also listen to Om, Conan and Monolord. If you wanna get even slower and more nonsensical, try Sunn O))), Boris and Earth.
Saw these guys in finland 2009 if I remember right, between some of the songs they had some technical difficulties because some of their amp-gear broke, fucking ”melted” and went all fucked up (and what I understood) it was because there was too much bass in their sound for their stuff to handle. Still one of the greatest fucking gigs that I’ve seen.
I believe it. I saw them at the Fillmore (Philly) in 2019. It was a packed house, and we were way in the back by the soundboard. I ran a decibel meter on my phone for a while, and it was at 100+ the entire time they were playing. The only other show that comes close and surpassed it are Sleep and Sunn o))) respectively
@@JK-gm6kk Fucking love Sleep. The loudest live bands I've seen are Electric Wizard and A Place To Bury Strangers. Which if you aren't familiar with them. Check out their album Exploding Head.
Over 10 years ago I've been on one of their gigs. It was mind blowing and thinking about it still lifts me up. One of the best sounding gigs I've been to!
Which is the lead bass and which is the rhythm bass? And which is just the bass? I'm joking. This music never fails to give me goosebumps. I'll be 60 in a couple of weeks. Glad my heart can still take it, I love this band.
being that old must be the doomest thing ever. knowing hoe close the reaper is, getting tons of free drugs, cold isnt just a feeling but a real bad thing and you can look in the mirror to see decay.
Heard this song like 6 years ago, and STILL, to this very day, the riff that starts at 6:52 remains one of the heaviest sections in any song, EVER. Period. Absolutely planet-crushing...
Only a chosen few can appreciate this music. It's a dying artform, void of ego and pretentiousness. I've been an avid listener since high school, 32 now. On occasion I'll drop acid and meditate for long periods of time. Wizard is my go to group to listen to, pre-trip. I like their old material better. However they have stayed consistent through the years.
@@emilwahlroos5570 Shit advice, candlemass vocals are cringey, that's precisely what he dislike. He should rather listen to: UFOMAMMUT (Ecate) Moonlord (Rust or Empress Rising) Spaceslug (Lemantis) Sleep, maybe
Wrestling fans in 1990 were afraid that Earthquake's theme would rattle the arena apart. Flash forward to today, this track is heavier than Earthquake himself and would rattle the arena apart before the fighter makes it to the Octagon.
Sometimes the depression is just deep enough that some uplifting music is all that's needed to dispel it. Other times, the depression is so deep and dense that you need the kind of music that resonates on its frequency. That's where Electric Wizard comes in.
Wow, really? I don't think I've ever seen female pubic hair dense enough to create a significant filtering effect for a guitar amplifier. I guess that was more of a common thing in the 70s, which would mean these guys really are committed to reviving the Black Sabbath era, in more ways than one.
From the bible of Metal, Book of Sabbath, Chapter 6, verse 66: "The Rifflord Iommi sayeth unto the, 'BEHOLD! For I give unto you a blackened riffcraft! A riff so dark, so heavy that the void itself shall headbang!' They came forth from the lowest of hells, deep within the void. Blackened riffmages known as the *Electric Wizard.* The hand of Satan toucheth upon their amp. Fuzz turn to flame. The leaf burned in mighty blaze as flames arose from wherever they played. Sun blackened into night in time of day. The Rifflord Matthew of Pike, Sön of Lemmy, cracked a brew, sat upon his throne, and laughed as Orange and Green tremble fourth with a terrible might. For on this day, the darkest of Iommi's riffs had arisen."
Doom metal is meant to be played slow obviously, but with Electric Wizard it doesn't sound like they're playing slow... instead it sounds like they're playing normally, they've just distorted space and time itself with their mind altering riffs
People have kids to this music. That means something to me now that I've learned that my family (Colonel Groves) made the atomic bomb and is the reason that doom metal happened.
+zztosha Do try to return from the trip...I know the basket weavers place is also interesting for a couple of years...but when you get into one of these trips....
I'm convinced this is one of the dankest riffs of all time. by the time the song ended and the real world sounds hit me again I was snapped out of my riff-induced trance. It like blocked all other sounds and senses from my ears until it was over. Crazy experience indeed 10/10.
We are so fortunate that Electric Wizard did not decide to add deep, growling vocals to their already insanely heavy instrumentals. The 'clean' vocals perfectly contrast and fit with their music simultaneously giving them an eerie and unique sound - the latter of which is extremely rare in metal.
This album was released in my birth year (1996). It makes me feel good to know that such beautiful vibrations were emanating throughout the cosmos during that time.
@@dickslaughter2 It says 1996 in the description. I actually just saw the film Oppenheimer and found out that someone with my name, Colonel Groves, led the Manhattan Project, which is responsible for the atomic bomb. This is pertinent because Black Sabbath's Paranoid was made in the immediate wake of his death, leading me to conclude that he was probably a major, if not primary, influence in the creation of the genre of doom metal. It explains now why I have been a daily Electric Wizard listener since I was a kid.
+eblb1ful2 Well I do not recall the exact day but I remember that just when I started to think my Wizard "binge" is over after almost 2 years, I realized that I still haven't heard the Come My Fanatics... album properly.

Beastie boy fucking awesome!! My pops introduce me to a lot of music all genres I’m forever grateful for that and ur son will be to trust me! And that reference is spot on sabbath old days and dime bag leading on the axe!! I’m 29 my pops is 68 same story different numbers!! Rock on and keep the party rolling!
I think this song tells the story of a man who can’t die. He lives for hundreds of years, seeing all of humanity’s wrongdoings, and once he can’t take it anymore, me gouges his own eyes out.
From right to left: Anton Lavey, Eric Harris (Columbine shooter), Stephen King, One of the Nazgul, and lastly Darth Maul. More evidence that this band Time Travels
Это, товарищи, просто пиздец. Землетрясение от чего-то огромного и тяжеленного, при этом неимоверно крутого. Есть группы с похожим звучанием, но именно EW сумели соединить дико тяжёлый саунд с блюзовыми и классическими стоунерскими риффами, да ещё с толстым налётом мрачности.
I love how this perfectly catches the feeling of the shitty comedown from a really intense trip, the aggressively slow and painful return to reality, when you're so worn you want it to stop so you can rest, but time keeps dilating ahead of you, and you're intensely uncomfortable, and you're not even as far down as you think you are, and it's just this gnawing, grinding, crucible of mercilessly unwound time and overwhelming sensation. Like not enough butter, spread too thin, across too much bread. The tryptamine crawl. Reentry from LSA after eating 1,000 morning glory seeds and becoming violently ill halfway through the trip with another 12+ hours to go. When it turns out that a 24hr trip is way more than you thought you signed up for. Glaciers of discomfiture, heaving slowly through the mountains of the mind and worn ruins of the body. Oozing titans of crushing sensory input well beyond what man is built to endure. The return trip, is the longest march of all.
The first time I've tried to smoke on my own I've got a lung burn, it was so painful I thought I was going to die. But soon after that terrible sensation thc kicked in like never before - it felt like this song
It's the kind of insanity that happens when you realize your whole life has been a lie, you have nothing left to live for and the world is nothing but a shit ball hurling thru space.
Scientifically spesking, the universe is always drifting closer and closer to absolute chaos. A gradual shift to the end is only natural. The sun will burn out one day. In a jillion years
Dopethrone was THE album that got me into loud music. I remember getting the album when I was 16 or so, and that I had read online or something that music of such nature was meant to be blaring loud. So I cranked the volume up on my Sony behind-the-ear now-retro headphones and entered bliss. Ill never forget that feeling. TO this day I still blast all my music and enjoy going to loud as hell rock and metal shows. EVERYONE SHOULD SEE SLEEP...I have yet to see Electric Wizard. I love Doom Mantia into Ivixior Bphase Induction.
The thing with this album that I can't determine if I prefer it or, is the fact that they never mute their guitars. Not for one fucking second It makes a head fucking sound, like it really possesses you, like its sole purpose is to force you as its obedient slave. The guitars refuse to give balance to the orchestra, it never stops, there's noise through and out. People who've seen them live know what I'm talking about. I thought I was gonna get permanent hearing damage. The they would never cut the guitars off, not between songs, the feedback would go and Jus would tune his guitar but there would never be one second of unnoisyness. But this is what drives it, this is what makes it so good, the sound is thick you don't notice it at first, you're just swept off your feet. Only problem is that there's no proper escalation for verse transitions, you know, when another riff is supposed to explode in like at "get off my case motherfucker" section. It's done with the second guitar player joining in and playing the riff with the other guitarist but it's impossible here 'cause both guitars are already ringing at full volume. Are they switching between effects mid-song, to make the guitar sound different when the riff escalates to make it sound like it escalates?
Fuck yeah man! This riff is the shit. This is one of their masterpiece songs. arguments can be made for others... or that this isn't one; all subjective lol. Just my opinion... But yeah, this album is so unique, flows super nicely, is just so opressive and heavy, has fantastic riffs and solos, and utilizes micro tonal and psychedelia influences super well. This album goes hard as fuck. Just so fuzzy and heavy. Every single song is fantastic. This song and Doom Mantia are the best songs on this album. For me, Saturnine is the best song they've ever recorded (off WitchCult). Saturnine, Rites of Drugula, Burnout, Funeralopolis, Doom Mantia, and Return Trip. Those are their masterpieces. But yeah. Fucking love EW. Hope this finds you well my dude.
i havent done any psychedelics or other stuff but listening this on weed always made me trip no matter what ive done on weed only this song had that much of an effect

Reason No. 1 why we don't hear this on the radio - broadcast towers have weight limits.

This is music at it's absolute peak. You may not like it, but here it is.
my23yr Old son turned me on to electric wizard they that old Sabbath meets dime bag vibe I'm48 taught my Boy well
little corousion of conformity vibe as well
Beastie boy indeed sir the torch has been passed.
Haha .. I'm 54 and turned my 26 year old son onto the Wizard a couple years ago.
Beastie boy fucking awesome!! My pops introduce me to a lot of music all genres I’m forever grateful for that and ur son will be to trust me! And that reference is spot on sabbath old days and dime bag leading on the axe!! I’m 29 my pops is 68 same story different numbers!! Rock on and keep the party rolling!
i am 30yr and i i got my 53yr old dad into electric wizard. rock on motherfuckers!
This Bass man,absolutely brutal! every time i play this song its an adventure!
I think this song tells the story of a man who can’t die. He lives for hundreds of years, seeing all of humanity’s wrongdoings, and once he can’t take it anymore, me gouges his own eyes out.
I by Meshuggah be like:
Jesus, methinks.
metal
Its just about depression and addiction, little buddy
Nice
this is my happy sound
+Kenneth Rohe muuuuuuhhhhhhhh!!! (wookie remark only Han Solo gets).
Best doom metal band
Best band
You know things are bad when even Batman can't ease the pain.
Chris Persaud man... im dying from laughter. The moment i was reading you, Jus just started to sing that row 😂😂
LOL
This song I can put on repeat over and over again. It sings to my damn soul
i just hit my elbow laughing at this. 😂😂😂
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
Probably the darkest, the heaviest, the purest song I ever heard. And the sexiest doom riff 🖤

From right to left:
Anton Lavey, Eric Harris (Columbine shooter), Stephen King, One of the Nazgul, and lastly Darth Maul.
More evidence that this band Time Travels
Matt Line more than likely jeffery dahmer the cannibal, not stephen king
Time travel makes you gay .
It's just Anton LaVey and some of his followers. artofalbumcovers.tumblr.com/post/96310481984/electric-wizard-come-my-fanatics-1997-from-a
Matt Line i thought it was Levay and Stephen King..but the others are just unknown demons...
@@morgoth2425 it looks like Stephen King from Pet Semetary movie
It's like two demons sitting in each ear screaming riffs that looks like black fire. that's how huge the heaviness in this song.
When listened on repeat for a hours it sounds like complete album❤
Whenever i wake up from a nightmare, this is my go to comfort music. Makes me feel at peace inside.
“I HOPE THIS FUCKING WORLD!!!... FUCKING BURNS AWAAAAYYY!!!!”
“Best lyric ever written-
ILL NEVER SEE AGAIN!!! NO, NO!!… AAAH OH FUCK NOOO!!!
I love that part
"And I'd kill you all if I had my way!!!"
On Repeat
when you throw hippies in a grinder you get
*DOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!*
i think i see stephen king on the cover
Shit now I do too
more like jeffrey dahmer :D
HAHAHAHA
well Steven king was a pretty big Lovecraft acolyte.
Its Lavey and his bros doing a ritual from the documentary "The power of the witch"
Это, товарищи, просто пиздец. Землетрясение от чего-то огромного и тяжеленного, при этом неимоверно крутого. Есть группы с похожим звучанием, но именно EW сумели соединить дико тяжёлый саунд с блюзовыми и классическими стоунерскими риффами, да ещё с толстым налётом мрачности.
Есть множество достойных конкурентов на стези тяж думстоунера, но Визард это глыба, легенда и канон!☝️
I played this song for my non-metal classmate. He almost died.
hahahaha - how's he doing now?
Last 3 minutes of this song is the most hypnotizing HEAVIEST thing I've ever heard.
Electric Wizard make other metal bands seem like britney spears to me
Douglas Young these guys are straight to the point.
What do you mean? Britney kicks ass.
I don't remember wanting to fuck any metal bands when I was 14 either.
Listen to Darkthrone and Burzum
@@panagiotisgialouris1654 Her own ass on music videos, yea sure I get your point!
*chuckles*
This is totally what I have been looking for. Such a good bass
That feeling when a song is so heavy every fibre of your being just goes "FhUCCKKKK" and your eyes roll in the back of your head ♥
Fibre of my libre
This song is so heavy that my browser crashed in the middle of playing it
That actually happened btw, not even a joke
I CAN FEEL MY BRAIN VIBRATING
I can't believe I only discovered them a year ago.
Dude I just recently discovered Electric Wizard.
2 days till 4/20, making the playlist,this one is a must
My weed just smoked me.
Good
My smoke just weeded me
1:44 is the baddest goddamn riff ever man. If I was a wrestler, I would come out to that riff for sure
I love how this perfectly catches the feeling of the shitty comedown from a really intense trip, the aggressively slow and painful return to reality, when you're so worn you want it to stop so you can rest, but time keeps dilating ahead of you, and you're intensely uncomfortable, and you're not even as far down as you think you are, and it's just this gnawing, grinding, crucible of mercilessly unwound time and overwhelming sensation. Like not enough butter, spread too thin, across too much bread. The tryptamine crawl. Reentry from LSA after eating 1,000 morning glory seeds and becoming violently ill halfway through the trip with another 12+ hours to go. When it turns out that a 24hr trip is way more than you thought you signed up for. Glaciers of discomfiture, heaving slowly through the mountains of the mind and worn ruins of the body. Oozing titans of crushing sensory input well beyond what man is built to endure. The return trip, is the longest march of all.
Sounds like love
Well fucking said lsa puts me out to sleep bruh I wish it did me like sass does
When I listen to Electric Wizard I always make sure my neighbors do as well.
6:52 *enters trance*
*dies*
The first time I've tried to smoke on my own I've got a lung burn, it was so painful I thought I was going to die. But soon after that terrible sensation thc kicked in like never before - it felt like this song
This music. Nothing SANE about it. I mean that in a positive way.
It's the kind of insanity that happens when you realize your whole life has been a lie, you have nothing left to live for and the world is nothing but a shit ball hurling thru space.
Scientifically spesking, the universe is always drifting closer and closer to absolute chaos. A gradual shift to the end is only natural. The sun will burn out one day. In a jillion years
@@johndough8219 The best comment I've read in a long time. My state of mind exactly!
This popped up in the recommended bar for no reason that I can tell, and I'm glad it did.
You know the songs a winner when the vocals dont come in till after the 3 minute mark
Only listen to this with good speakers or headphones!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly, some music can't be played on a phone.
1:44 is one of the most menacing riffs in the business. It’s the greasiest shit I’ve ever heard
I never get sick of this song, total doom epicness.
heaviest bass ever
Ahhh...The Wizard...The Wizard...
Dopethrone was THE album that got me into loud music. I remember getting the album when I was 16 or so, and that I had read online or something that music of such nature was meant to be blaring loud. So I cranked the volume up on my Sony behind-the-ear now-retro headphones and entered bliss. Ill never forget that feeling. TO this day I still blast all my music and enjoy going to loud as hell rock and metal shows. EVERYONE SHOULD SEE SLEEP...I have yet to see Electric Wizard. I love Doom Mantia into Ivixior Bphase Induction.
Stephen Franciosa seen them live in Hollywood, absolutely fuckin amazing show
saw Sleep and EW, its worth to see sober or not...
sleep's live shows are fucking sick
Wasn't impressed with them live. I hate to say it but it wasn't really the same after they got rid of this albums rhythm section.
The thing with this album that I can't determine if I prefer it or, is the fact that they never mute their guitars. Not for one fucking second It makes a head fucking sound, like it really possesses you, like its sole purpose is to force you as its obedient slave. The guitars refuse to give balance to the orchestra, it never stops, there's noise through and out.
People who've seen them live know what I'm talking about. I thought I was gonna get permanent hearing damage. The they would never cut the guitars off, not between songs, the feedback would go and Jus would tune his guitar but there would never be one second of unnoisyness.
But this is what drives it, this is what makes it so good, the sound is thick you don't notice it at first, you're just swept off your feet.
Only problem is that there's no proper escalation for verse transitions, you know, when another riff is supposed to explode in like at "get off my case motherfucker" section. It's done with the second guitar player joining in and playing the riff with the other guitarist but it's impossible here 'cause both guitars are already ringing at full volume.
Are they switching between effects mid-song, to make the guitar sound different when the riff escalates to make it sound like it escalates?
Stopped at the park on my way home last night around 3am to have a toke and finish my last beer while listening to this song. Was a trip.
4:10 Story of my life.
That 2:41 riff along with the guitar is the heaviest thing I've ever heard
Fuck yeah man! This riff is the shit. This is one of their masterpiece songs. arguments can be made for others... or that this isn't one; all subjective lol. Just my opinion... But yeah, this album is so unique, flows super nicely, is just so opressive and heavy, has fantastic riffs and solos, and utilizes micro tonal and psychedelia influences super well. This album goes hard as fuck. Just so fuzzy and heavy. Every single song is fantastic. This song and Doom Mantia are the best songs on this album. For me, Saturnine is the best song they've ever recorded (off WitchCult). Saturnine, Rites of Drugula, Burnout, Funeralopolis, Doom Mantia, and Return Trip. Those are their masterpieces.
But yeah. Fucking love EW. Hope this finds you well my dude.
it's 2017 now and i still can't move
Legend has it he is still immobile to this day...
2018 and still immobile
I'm playing this one on my grandfathers funeral saying to everyone this was his favorite jam
they played this live in Boston last night and holy HELL was it heavy.
I was there..
me too
This fuzzes so much, I had to shave my teeth.
Still one of the best songs I've ever played.
i havent done any psychedelics or other stuff but listening this on weed always made me trip no matter what ive done on weed only this song had that much of an effect
robertohlin98 do psychedelics
Try ACID and listen to Burzum
Weed is a psychedelic
Zakk Poss a mild one
Fuck i wanna do some acid
8:29 the way he starts to wail and scream. Get's me every time. "no...no..O, Fuck!"
I'm making a return trip to this song. For about the hundredth time!
Probably the best doom metal band of today
Какая прекрасная музыка, жаль раньше не слышал эту комманду. Превосходно,тягуче ,тяжело и медленно ,все как я люблю.❤
