The word "heavy" gets tossed around for
a lot of different bands, some of them totally deserving it, and others get it
simply because they play distorted guitars. Electric Wizard is probably the most
deserving band of the adjective "heavy" since Black Sabbath. This record not
only is deserving of it, but redefines what "heavy" really is.
So, if you
haven't heard Electric Wizard before, it can be summed up with relative ease:
70s Black Sabbath for a new generation. This album came out in 1997, and is
simply crushing. The band achieves this greatness with several key factors:
riffs, simplicity, down tuning, and a lot of cannabis. Let's analyze this
further shall we?
One will notice right away that the riffs here are
pretty memorable. These guys tune all the way to B which proves to be really
effective for these slow, drawn out riffs that rely on blues-based phrasing,
much like Sabbath did. The production compliments this further by getting that
low end out there, backed by some pretty sludgy bass. Jus Osborn throws on some
good leads over the riffs which really help with counterpoint.
At this
point, it's pretty clear that Electric Wizard wrote a record that takes the
approach of "less is more". Riffs repeat often, song structures are relatively
cyclic, and the riffs are not very notey. The band uses this to their full
advantage, and lets the true meaning of heavy flow. Combined with their slow
tempos, the simplicity becomes so catchy and genius. Even the lyrics are
relatively short and simple (and one will notice some Black Sabbath allusions in
them). Once the song develops around a central idea, the songs get broken up
with some more "jam oriented" parts that seem pretty loose but
effective.
Electric Wizard proudly advertise the fact that they love
marijuana, and its effects are ever present in their music. From Osborn's raw
throat to little nuances like coughing in songs, weed is everywhere here. This
album will be a delight to any pot-head, but that doesn't mean it's only for
drug users. Fans of doom, stoner rock, or slow heavy music in general will take
liking to this.
Pretty much every song on here is full enjoyable. "Wizard
In Black" has genius lyrics that are sure to intrigue fans, "Doom Mantia" is
like a doom metal anthem almost, and "Son of Nothing" proves to be another track
with lyrics that you can't help but sing to. Each song has it's own identity but
seem consistent with each other.
This is a really great record full of
blurry riffs and has a lot of staying power. They'll never top this album (but
have come close). This is how doom metal should sound like today. Electric
Wizard really took "heavy" to a whole new level here. ( ) (orphy, March 24th,
