Electric Wizard - I, The Witchfinder

[satyrisci]

Meh.

[rvtw619]

where is that sample from

[tifomilano813]

@rvtw619 Mark of the Devil, that's Reggie Nalder.

[aahlstrom93]

Is this a shout out to the old-school doom band Witchfinder General?

[doom696mented]

@aahlstrom93 No, it has nothing to do with that band. Witchfinder General were NWOBHM with a little touch of early black sabbath, but they were kinda fast to be traditional doom.

[DoomMetalSludge]

@doom696mented Too fast to be traditional doom? Witchfinder General along with others is commonly associated with being one of the first Doom Metal bands! The fact that they were fast doesn't mean anything. Did Sabbath not have fast moments?

[shakejuntnowison31]

any other bands like ew?

[doom696mented]

@shakejuntnowison31 early black sabbath, acid king, sleep, wizard smoke etc

[TP2010]

@shakejuntnowison31 Check out STONEHELM dude. You'll thank me. You'll ALL thank me.

[FromDevouredGround]

Used to think Black Metal/Doom Metal was terrible, heard this in a store and fell in love haha. Electric Wizard is the bomb.

[TyrannosaurusMan]

Wizard should open for Sabbath come 2012!!!

[TheMetaldude32]

@TyrannosaurusMan Can't wait for the new Sabbath album with Ozzy.

[TyrannosaurusMan]

@TheMetaldude32 and don't forget Bill Ward!

[doom696mented]

You won't hear anymore of this very soon. This kind of album - so fucked up, so trippy and gloomy - only comes once every 30 years or so.

[FromDevouredGround]

When was this released?

[slowblood99]

@FromDevouredGround 2000, what a good year it was

[ZOSOrulz1]

metal the way it was originally supposed to be: slow, gloomy, doomy, gives a sense of encroaching DOOM!

[ohsnape]

If she weighs the same as a duck...

[hulkinator100]

@ohsnape ...she's made of wood...And therefore...A witch!

[doom696mented]

@Me6847 Yeah, man. Dopethrone is my favourite Wizard album, too ^.^

[doom696mented]

@Me6847 Oborn's new singing style kicks ass, too, man. It's the kind of singing that reminds you of Ozzy's style of singing in his early days with Black Sabbath. Just my opinion, though. Anyway, Electric Wizard is great even today.

[doom696mented]

Albino*

[doom696mented]

The movie "Mark of the Devil" is superb if you like old horror movies. The intro is a scene from the film. Albion is - as the lyrics say - the witchfinder.

[Glozey]

I need to send Albino after my ex....

[honestjohntellsit]

Fucking wicked.

[Vetter87]

Best concert at Roskilde 2011... I'm obsessed with the bass <3

[bodysn9]

LET ME SING LEAD VOCALS .. ... we'll be the next "{TOOOL """"" only harder

[MasaFinn]

I, The Bitchfinder

[MegaPalletMan]

I am Albino, evil witchfinder

I know she's guilty before I find her

I'll pierce her flesh to find his mark

Torture, my pleasure, true servant of the dark

True servant of the dark

[TheAgapeetus89]

There's two witches amongst us!

[Boomoutgothelights]

get off my case motherfucker

[woodwyrm]

anyone who knows if EW has done a cover of snowblind?

[cripplas]

@woodwyrm Sleep did one. I'm not aware of anything by the wizard

[doom696mented]

This is Black Sabbath of the 2000s ! Thumbs up if you agree !

[starchmonkey]

@doom696mented I thumbs you down for unwarranted self-importance

[doom696mented]

@starchmonkey wow... is this some kind of life philosophy?

[sandyballs123]

@doom696mented this si lick black sabbath slowed down

[peterk017]

Nobody will ever come close to creating such a monsterish masterpiece

[nativefemanon]

This is good music. FUCK YES.

[Legatt]

Christ ... anyone know where to find bass tabs for this? I want to zone out and jam to it.

[metalnut92]

The sample at the start always reminds me of 'The Great Cornholio'. Every time I hear it, I expect him to say 'I am Albino. You wish to see my bunghole?'

[MyGrey007]

@metalnut92

Haha

[daJodge]

@metalnut92

Are you threatening me? 

[pharcydebug]

@metalnut92 i am cornholio you wish to see my bunghole

[TheBelzebuddha]

@metalnut92 ahahahahah

[doommetal101]

Its amazing how they can play all of these long songs. Just about all of the songs on this album are a little over ten minutes long each. Exept "the hills have eyes" and this one other song. I forgot the name of that song

[Nobodie92]

0:48 I thought there was a knock at my door.

[pacinoodles1]

Best heavy band in decades.....long may they run.

[StarInvasion]

hmm. when this stopped playing i thought my headphones were vibrating... but no, it was just my brain.

[ModMob]

@StarInvasion i got Skull Candy's with the subs in them and they do vibrate, pretty freaking awesome

[NoZAutonomy]

@ModMob Skull Candy is an awful brand when it comes to headphones, they break easily and are overpriced also back in the days when I owned a pair they were really uncomfortable. Try one of Sony's XB series. Your listening experience will change forever.

[ModMob]

@NoZAutonomy Considering ive had mine for a long time and i drop them and bring them to school in my backpack and i got them for $40 from a friend. id say i didnt pay to much and they are pretty sturdy. and mine are really comfortable.

[Sweetxallure]

God I'm in love with feedback.

[nekromachine]

This is the definative EW line-up for me. When the drummer and bass player left and formed Rammesses (pretty damned good themselves and good live still not a patch on the Wizard's Sleeve though) it started to go downhill. Witchcult Today was a somewhat return to form but still everything upto and including Dopethrone is superb with Dopethrone being the pinnacle

[MyGrey007]

@nekromachine I think that Dopethrone & Come My Fanatics are their 2 best albums. I like Ramesses, but I'd much rather see the old EW lineup.

[nekromachine]

@MyGrey007 Hey man i would not disagree with you on that one at all! The trio was the definative line-up and like you said Dopethrone & Come My Fanatics are funnily enough my own picks as EW's standout records. Maybe it will happen one day MyGrey007 and if so i will see you at the the live gigs (well i am in the northwest of england (greater manchester area) so maybe not. I would like that line-up to regroup as much as i am and have been waiting for Confessor's 3rd album...

[Likeyoucare]

@nekromachine

The Wizard has always made good music (excluding "Let us Prey" which was sludge, which I do not like), and in my opinion, "Dopethrone" is the least standout album of all of theirs.

[nekromachine]

@Likeyoucare Hey to each their own and its all good. It would be a boring place if everyone liked the exact same thing. I am still waiting for news on that 3rd Confessor record which initially was planned or a 2009 release! I doubt it is going to happen. Still there are always plenty of other releases to look forward to (you may or may not be a fan i do not know) Crowbar's latest for example.

Peace out

[HeroinForever]

This is my absolute, all-time favorite Electric Wizard song. God, I just love when Justin's finished singing and the music gets all tripped-out, spacey and weird and goes on-and-on and on-and-on and gets more intense and weirder...

\m/ -.-  \m/

[goawayondoor]

you care about the song and not the video . its about the music man, keep on hittin it up.

[215day]

Yeah, I already saw. But all I want is the full song, not any video.

Thanks for uploading atleast.

[215day]

Too bad this had to be cut.

[MyGrey007]

@215day Someone made a great video to go with this song but it only lasted 8 minutes. I'd never be able to improve such a good video, so my only goal in making this video was to let the song run as long as possible, and improve on the sound quality. The other video was awesome though, it had scenes from a witch-hunter movie that fits this song perfectly.

[eggy77]

@MyGrey007 You tube allows longer videos now so if it's an ideal opportunity to get the full version, hopefully with that video. (fingers crossed).
