Electric Wizard - Witchcult Today

[texasB666]

The greatest thing about Doom/Stoner is that its impossible to go mainstream. Its something that normal people (who are actually the insane ones) can't understand and comprehend. Maybe its because this type of music is the real "Heavy Metal"? From my own experience, fans of this type of music usually have a broad taste, are addicted to music and love smoking and using dope. We are seekers :)

[daithisogood]

they are just clones, nothing original here.

[hedbangr141]

Electric Wizard have been recorded in some recent scientific tests to cause the dropping of balls and the shitting of bricks.

[FrozenHelium]

you know a song is monumental if the riff makes your balls retract into your body and the hair stand on the neck

[AlienationNation]

This shit is so heavy when you're baked

[fortymbrass]

@AlienationNation

i must try ;)

[tasteyrottingchrist]

sabbath blue cheer sleep, the desert scene in arizona influenced. There is a juanra of sabathy sounding clacic rock, stoner rock, doom, psychadelic variation. Dont try to juanranize it. its ROCK.

[wedonttastetheair]

i think EW are probs a bit heavier then sabbath.... All hail Dopethrone!!

[gavchie]

every heavy band is influenced by black Sabbath, this is my first time listening to electric wizard and i like it, a bit like the sword but more dirty

[psycheboa]

You're all a bunch of posers, you should listen to a real artist like Kid Rock, that man has talent.

[robojohnny]

@psycheboa lol... huh?

[doom696mented]

@psycheboa kid rock is a pussy. If this shit scares you, then get lost !

[psycheboa]

@doom696mented *Adds one to the tally chart*

[pinkersteamer]

This is the shit Ozzy listens to..

[SunofMercury]

@pinkersteamer Really, he listens to the Wizard?

[Infomatiks]

I'd say they are very influenced by Black Sabbath yet It would be unfair to judge them as a rip-off band. They have their own identity and style within the Doom Metal movement. When I listen to their work, especially their album Witchcult Today, and Black Mass, I feel thankful that these people are around and that the shit of mainstream crappy pop hasn't eclipsed everything.

[peanutworm]

Before this video is an advert for some Ralph Lauren perfume. I'm an Electric Wizard fan, and I smell like shit. And that's the way it's gonna stay.

[doom696mented]

Just because Electric Wizard are so talented and can play in the same style early Black Sabbath played during their early years, that doesn't mean EW is ripping-off. Anyone can play what Black Sabbath played on their first 4 or 5 albums... You only need alot of weed to smoke, inspiration, talent, ambition, an interest in late 60s-early 70s horror movies and a retro-obsessed feeling in general. Stop bitching! If you don't like it, then get the fuck lost!

[Infomatiks]

@doom696mented - I totally agree. They have their own place within Doom Metal.

[doom696mented]

Why is everyone talking about Electric Wizard ripping off Black Sabbath? Has anyone ever heard about "a major influence"? Early Black Sabbth is one of Electric Wizard's major influences, that doesn't mean EW is ripping off Black Sabbath, that means EW is inspired by Sabbath's early evil/gloomy/trippy riffs. Rip-off means COPYING SOMEONE IN THE EXACT SAME WAY. Now tell me... on what Black Sabbath song(s) have you heard Witchcult Today's riff or any other Electric Wizard riff?

[perrottafamily1]

A rip off of Sabbath? Come on!

[ImNIClK]

There are SO many idiots commenting and saying how they are so similar to Sabbath. I never listen to Wizard and think "Wow! They are Sabbath Rip-offs!". These guys are one of the most original and by far the heaviest band I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. I hope you asses get over the minor similarities to Black Sabbath and start enjoying this music for the music qualities. And not just to smoke to it and think you're cool because you smoke and listen to Stoner Metal.

[schafferer]

This is good music, man

[bonillaortiz]

man the cover art for this album is some of the most sick and twisted fukn awesome shit, this album is fucking seminal, black masses (scorpio curse specifically) was the shit too...they sound like an evil-er melvins

[doom696mented]

I don't care if I'll get a shitload of thumbs up or not and I don't even care if anybody will disagree with me, but THIS KIND OF ROCK/METAL MUSIC is the first true kind of metal music in history. You all have heard it before, back in the earliest days of the 70s... Black Sabbath with their first 4-5 albums gave birth to this kind of music, which sends shivers up your spine, making you think of how would it be like being stoned out of your mind, tripping and being doomed for your entire life.

[OmnisOrtus]

@doom696mented the sword

[MultiDirtydude]

@doom696mented Thats the best comment .

[BobTheNecrophile]

we all know about the black sabbath shit, they have a shirt saying "sabbath started it" so I think that is clear. but they did not rip them off yada yada, whatever. this band is fucking trippy and I love this shit. Wizard in Black got me into them. If you listen to these guys and you don't smoke weed, I don't know what the fuck you are doing with your life.

[smellsserious]

@BobTheNecrophile : I thought the Kat Williams reference was particularly clever, sir.

[doom696mented]

Electric Wizard is the most unique stoner/doom metal band, cos... you know, they are influenced by early Black Sabbath and stuff, but what I definetly like about them is that they don't try to rip off, or to imitate or anything like that... Many doom metal bands (even stoner metal) try to imitate early sabbath, which I think is pathetic... and they fail !

[TheEndKing]

I love the slow build of their songs.

[Iconlast]

Damn saw them at Graspop Metal Meeting FUCKING HELL I was sooo fucking stoned but I needed to smoke more and more and then the whole fucking crowd was smoking XD fucking awesome and Liz is fantastic!

[pikajesus]

Great band!

[metalahhhhhhhhhhhh]

This is probably one of the most frightening album covers Ive seen in awhile. Looks like a demon taking some chick. Or interpreted in another way its a interdimensional being coming through a wormhole in our dimension to take his food(aka the girl) back to the 4th dimension.

[illustratingillusion]

@doom696mented dude it's the silhouette of the poster from the hammer horror classic "The Devil's Bride" also known as "The Devil Rides Out" - look THAT SHIT UP

[doom696mented]

@illustratingillusion I know the film, man... I was just joking ! geeez

[illustratingillusion]

@doom696mented sorry dude, i was ridiculously high when i wrote that lol

[doom696mented]

@illustratingillusion chill, man...

[bradenragsdale]

not gunna lie, electric wizard is great homework music. and then you can transition to smokin easily when your done haha

[doom696mented]

This music should be categorized as being more frightening than black metal (or death metal). This kind of music speaks to your soul in a darker way than black metal... espacially if you're on drugs !

[a01543z]

scary riff!

[doom696mented]

Is that the Iron Cross or the Druid Cross around the horned figure's neck on the album's cover art?

[warlocksarewatching]

@doom696mented No idea why it'd be a cross, I think it's just there for decoration. If anything I'd say it was a druid cross which is probably isn't.

[Sw0rdphish]

@doom696mented it looks like an inverted egyptian ankh

[MetalUpYourAssFuck]

awesome.. i'm smoking my hookah and listening to this song.. fuck yeah

[manny45629]

@MetalUpYourAssFuck tobacco is wacko, stick to smokin weed bro.

[MetalUpYourAssFuck]

@manny45629 yeah dude, i know. sometimes i go out smoke some weed. so nice.

[Z0mbieR0b0t]

420 likes, that's appropriate.

[epicblogofdoom]

so what if they ripped of of sabbath, im happy because sabbath kicks ass and if they rip sabbath ( which they really didnt) than all that means is that there almost guarnteed to kick ass (which they do)

[Renaissanceish]

I feel strangely hypnotized.

[doom696mented]

new movement in metal culture: "Sex, Drugs and Occultism"; great fusion between Satanism and hallucinogens !

[S0ryiu]

@doom696mented New? it's been around since the late 70s.

[doom696mented]

@S0ryiu Electric Wizard is one of the fewest bands doing this kind of thing ! I wanna see a great revival !

[arnyarny77]

they arent a rip off of sabbath at all, believe me i grew up on sabbath, sabath did not invent low key music they barrowed, or took from other groups as well, no such thing as original, just personal flare

[BIGTIMBERFILMS]

@arnyarny77 Couldn't agree more. Evrybody just eats echothers musical vomit.

[sseasofsin]

@arnyarny77 LYRICS

[ChebbsMastaFlex]

@arnyarny77 All things are Lucifers, in an endless universe

[doom696mented]

@arnyarny77 you didn't mention another important thing: not even the occult/satanic lyrical themes weren't invented by Black Sabbath... there were bands before sabbath in the USA that were playing blues rock/acid rock/psychedelic shit and had occult themes, like Coven and Black Widow. What Black Sabbath really did was to play a heavier psychedelic/blues rock and combine this with the well-known dark/occult lyrical themes and with the additional doomy/trippy style of singing of Ozzy !

[doom696mented]

@arnyarny77 That heavier psychedelic/blues rock combined with those dark/occult/horror lyrics evolved and it was called heavy rock music (or heavy metal) and the first subgenre of this heavy rock/metal music was Stoner/Doom Metal (of course, this wasn't even a name within rock music during the 70s, and doom metal was recognized as an underground metal subgenre during the mid-to late 80s, and then in the early 90s, stoner metal/stoner doom metal rose to proeminence)

[looka345]

@arnyarny77 the fact that sabbath took from someone else doesnt mean these guys didnt take from them... they are great, but a great influence from sabbath is really eminent

[facepalm486]

@arnyarny77 uhm fuck you. the tritone belongs to sabbath.

[xHollowedOutx]

the best. without any doubt.

[xavierspade666]

They're a slowed-down rip-off of Black Sabbath. But I like the sound.

[07sproate]

@xavierspade666 im gonna make a slowed down ripped off version of your head

[xavierspade666]

@07sproate Awesome chump! Any time any place.

[metalahhhhhhhhhhhh]

This is the first album cover thats given me the chills in a looong time.

[austinthegreatper]

fuckin eh i usually cant make it through songs over 6 mins especially when im ripped as shit.

[cricketsinwigs]

DUDE, YOU'RE SO STUPID! SO WHAT IF THEY LIKE MARIJUANA? THEY ARE GREAT BECAUSE OF WEED!!!

[MrFrancisconelis]

i've listened this really high, and now i'm listening clear and it's a totally different song

[monsterhead13]

jus aborn is a god

[Boomoutgothelights]

I doubt the members of Electric Wizards do drugs. 

[306ness]

@Boomoutgothelights You think they made an album like "dopethrone" without the inspiration of drugs? just listen to the bong hit in the background of funeralopolis...

[Boomoutgothelights]

@306ness ...sarcasm...

[306ness]

@Boomoutgothelights ah... *facepalm*

[ChrononautDoom]

@Boomoutgothelights Aside from the Dopethrone + bong hits somone else posted...i'm sure both songs that reference 'Drugula' must just be typos and speech impediments...

[doom696mented]

@Boomoutgothelights they do... believe; jus was absolutely so fucked up on something during an interview... They smoke tons of weed and trip on acid big time! It's your thing if you doubt they do drugs!

[Boomoutgothelights]

@doom696mented I know man lmao the comment was sacrastic

[doom696mented]

@Boomoutgothelights oh, sorry then

[joseskateszee619]

@Boomoutgothelights and worship satan?

[viskipaukku]

@joseskateszee619 haha! :D

[TombStoned]

@Boomoutgothelights

I saw them 2 days ago and Jus said onstage he was high as fuck!

Face it, they're a bunch of potheads!

[EddieVH666]

Awesome song! its hard to find bands with a true signature sound and while electric wizard obviously takes influence from sabbath their vocals are truely unique

[MrUglyPanda]

Long Live the Dooooooooommmmmm RIIIIFFF!!!!

[cheesebread79]

1) Hold your breath.

2) Copy all of these steps.

3) Go to two other video.

4) Paste it in the comments.

If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker

[matematiken]

Please STOP talking about that stupid bitch, it is so embarrassing that people even are bringing it up, especially when we are listening to awsome fuckng ELECTRIC WIZARD!

/Sandra

[banditsmadcraze]

id fuck lady gaga..while blasting this song.. just sayin

[bml106]

@banditsmadcraze you dont know where that things been.

[banditsmadcraze]

@bml106

hahaha true... but still cmon

[cubertio]

top two comments on this video involve lady fucking gaga - wtf isnt the top 2 comments about how fucking great this band is...

[jakewastejakewaste]

@cubertio your comment seems pretty dumb since it also is about lady gaga in a way

[manny45629]

@cubertio you contradicted yourself man

[cubertio]

@manny45629 dunke

[The40thThief]

@cubertio Your still involving her xD Wizard kicks ass, they are inspired by Sabbath (as are most of the good bands) but I think they grew towards a distinct Wizard tone now.

[laverdisti500]

awesome Doom Masterpiece.

[rockhammer666]

remind me a bit on Black Sabbath ....great

[scruffy688]

I am christian, but I love this... I love all there stuff...

[ranchodelaluna]

i wanna live inside this riff, im bringing my axe though 

[Realflection]

take that Gaga twat-bind her to chair-headphone that cunt-play Wizard & every time she flinches whip her with barbed wire

[Sprockrocket]

@Realflection

If you'd acctually done some research on her you'd find out that some of her favorite bands are rock and metal acts. I don't think she'd flinch once.

[IndeclineKills]

the 9 people who don't like this are fuckn tone deth and belong in a grave

[67uh67]

@IndeclineKills You belong in an English Class of some sort.

[IndeclineKills]

@67uh67

you belong in a homo gangbang of some sort

[67uh67]

@IndeclineKills Awesome irrelevant comeback. I look up to you.

[shitdinkle]

wat u talkin about??? lady gagas really talented!!! talented with a black gold dagger stickin thru her talented skull bleedin into the asemblies talented mouths with her talented blood.

[grandmasterdeafchild]

Shit... this... riff...  is brutal, damn.

[Halykon]

If the Dude formed a metal band, this is how it would sound.

[h1r43th4l1v3]

@Halykon haha yeah xD

[hatementality]

Hey i got a good idea.. Lets start talking about EW and make comparisons that relate to this awesome music. How about being constructive besides digressing into shitty music topics? FUCK OFF silly twats

[alfredrut]

the best part of the song is 00:00 to 7:55

[MasaFinn]

Imo Dopethrone is the best album..

[smallerBuckets]

What's that singing in the background? Sounds mad backwards.

[Endexter]

how is that lady gaga, i thought she had a disco stick?

[Lucanking]

I can smell skunk just listening to this.

[coshyno]

Jesus mother fucking christ.

[fabcuts]

EHG IS THE KING OF THIS GENRE

[doom696mented]

@fabcuts ehg is fucking sludge/doom ! What the fuck is wrong with you???? This is Stoner/Doom ! Get your facts right !

[Likeyoucare]

@Anarcrust559 alright kill me baby i'm awaitin'

[ziporonto]

@OdeToNecrophilia hey, Fuck You.

[Thebobcrazy89]

Funeralopolis is the only song that beats this in my opinion. Still. Sounds fooking great :D and i dont smoke weed... :P

[zztosha]

It never stops to amaze me, how fucking heavy they sound.

[SavaFun]

you need to smoke some weed to get to the point of Electric Wizard!!!

[NefariousGrime]

@SavaFun YES OMG the only reason why the majority don't like doom is cuz they dont smoke enough LOL

[SavaFun]

@NefariousGrime thats true man

[HouseHoldGuy1]

@SavaFun i don't smoke and Electric Wizard is my favorite band

[doom696mented]

@HouseHoldGuy1 if you don't smoke, get yourself some shrooms ! :)

[HouseHoldGuy1]

@doom696mented hahaha maybe i will.....

[doom696mented]

@HouseHoldGuy1 you should !

[HouseHoldGuy1]

@doom696mented lol

[paintedpirate]

Electric Wizard is Viagra for the soul

[pacinoodles1]

These guys are so dark that they seem to melt all my evil and frustrations....They are blacker than black...there is none blacker!!!

Friggin Awesome...........

[Likeyoucare]

This album just kills. Better than "Dopethrone" in my opinion.

[coshyno]

I like the part with the album cover.

[Aldiberuin]

recorded with 70' equipment = great Black Sabbath sound

[alfredthegr]

whoaaaah maaaan this is some heavvy stuff

[infamousshadow92]

Electric Wizard gives me a boner!

[surgedjdnb]

@infamousshadow92 yeah me too man! but im too stined to do anything about it lol

[OpressionOffical]

The opening riff sounds like the beginning of "The Chosen Few". Expect they go lower in this song instead of higher :]

Stoner Doom is the best!!!!

[TheOnlyAttrition]

i still think their best work is their 1st album.

[coshyno]

one of my favorite from EW.

[TheLettuce94]

Respond to this video... dude they r the heaviest fuckin band ever i mean u can actually feel the weight of the song when you're listening to it its like theres a fucking 18 wheeler on your back

[JSFER2]

It's just....so fucking heavy!!

[IndeclineKills]

im seeing boris on sat

and sleep sept 13

im gonna be so fuckn high

[TSyoutubin]

What the fuck is that in the beginning?!

[91Lizardking]

@TSyoutubin

Some sweet leafs and a very very very cranked up distortion guitar.

[TSyoutubin]

@91Lizardking Definitely! :) But I was asking about the ghoulish sounds.

[sloosbag]

lady gaga is the chick dead on the album cover, The Wizards taking down the pop scene, one untalented whore at a time

[EGrobinPK]

@sloosbag What's there to take down in the "pop" scene. It's call crap really?

[grans]

@sloosbag Lady Gaga is awesome, you fucker!

[sammy10391]

@sloosbag Lady Gaga is pretty talented, I don't like her, but she is, you just don't appreciate that different people have different brains.

[TheTapdancingChrist]

@sammy10391 No. She isn't.

[sammy10391]

@TheTapdancingChrist Yes, she is.

[B1GGB0SSrevolution]

@sammy10391 No she isnt, she was discovered buy someone who had a brilliant mind for marketing and how to sell a product who then invented some dramtis persona for this febale minded skank he found in a strip club with a a bareley adequite singing voice. Everything about her is thaught up by other people, not to mention she is an Illuminati pupet. She souled her soul for fame.

[turydragon]

@sloosbag

Actually lady gaga knows her shit when it comes to music. so talent is not an issue with her.

[Likeyoucare]

@turydragon

You and ZXOH are in the wrong place.

[kwazyjones]

@turydragon no, lady gaga knows her shit when it comes to getting to the top of the mainstream list. That in NO way means she knows anything about music. All she knows is the modern pop music scene, which really is one of the worst places to go to if youre looking for real MUSIC

[turydragon]

@kwazyjones

Real music is any music, Obviously what shes selling is nothing much that synths,drum machines and her voice. but she still studied music and knows how to play and sing. Its easy for people to make shitty criticism or to complain behind a monitor.

[ZXOH]

@sloosbag you might be right that there are many untalented people in the pop scene, but lady gaga is not one of them. she rights her own music, plays piano, directs her own music videos and gets one hit after the next. so she is talented... maybe yoiu should rather say britney, don't think she is such a talented person... =)

[bikerluke182]

@sloosbag As awesome as the image you painted in my head looks, Lady gaga is probably one of the only talented pop artists around these days, even if she is an attention addict.

Check out some of her interviews, she actually knows a lot about rock n roll. And well, she can actual sing and writes her own songs, that's got to be a good thing surely.
