Double vinyl LP pressing. Witchcult Today is the sixth album by British doom metal band Electric Wizard. It was recorded entirely on vintage 1970's equipment at Toe Rag Studios and was originally released in November 2007. The sound of Witchcult Today was less harsh than preceeding albums and Jus Osborn's vocals are much more prominent. The band's fascination with horror movies and writers continues here with "Satanic Rites of Drugula", a reference to the Hammer Studios horror film The Satanic Rites of Dracula, and "Dunwich", a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Dunwich Horror; also "Black Magic Rituals & Perversions (I. Frisson Des Vampires II. Zora)" makes reference to Jean Rollin film Le Frisson des Vampires (Shiver of the Vampires) and to Italian comic book character Zora the Vampire. Review: The Wizard! - Does what it says. Review: Our witchcult grows. - I am so in love with this record. Every song is solid. "Chosen Few" is a crowd favorite.

Needs one break in spin on the vinyl.
Go Witchcult! Command much money! I figured this was the way to start out a vinyl collection given the vintage sound and Jus Oborn's insistence that records sound better. And it's my favorite of their albums since the new lineup. Cd's still seem more powerful, but I'll have to keep listening to see if the subtleties are there. How does Amazon know I bought this through Barnes & Noble? I imagine a bunch of cold, curious aliens wiping us all out and spinning this as their introduction to earth and becoming necromantic slaves.

Great production. Catchy tunes
Great production. Catchy tunes. Dunwich is possibly my favorite EW song ever. Fans of Doom and others will like this one.

Stoner Doom Goodness
Kinda sounds like it was recorded during the NWOBHM era, right alongside Celtic Frost and Venom. Heavy as a cinderblock dropped on your foot. Best listened to in a dense cloud of weedsmoke.

07年発表6th。drがチェンジしている。 バンド史上最凶クラス、容赦なくどヘヴィなドゥーム・サウンドを叩き付けた前作に比べ、やや抑えた作りとなっている。 ただそれはあくまでELECTRIC WIZARDにしては、といった程度のレベル。 使用機材は全てヴィンテージ。わずかなリマスタリング機器を除いてProToolsはおろか一切のデジタル……1972年以降の機材が何もないリアル・ワトソンの『Toerag studio』でレコーディングされた本作は、これまで以上に本格的に、それでいて自然に煙っている。 「今日の魔女信仰」という怪しすぎるタイトル、ブックレットに使われているかなり古そうな黒ミサの写真、そしてこの1970年頃の極初期のBLACK SABBATHがそのまま現在にタイム･スリップしてきたような、60〜70年代のダークな面を追及したような音楽性。 実際ジャスティンのヴォーカルは、初期のオジー･オズボーンを髣髴とさせる。 知らずに聴いたら、ほんとに昔のカルト・バンドの発掘音源だと思ってしまいそうだ。 「ライヴに来て、終わった後に完全に打ちのめされて欲しい。ボロボロになって帰って欲しいんだ。 俺たちのライヴは肉体を駆使するからな！ モッシュとかはないけど、俺たちの音楽は肉体を駆使する強烈なものなんだ。 そして、秘密の儀式に参加した気分になって、新しいことを見出して欲しい」 ――ジャス・オーボン(BURRN! 2007.12)

Lo bueno es que llego antes de la fecha estimada y en si los discos se escuchan bien, pero por desgracia el empaque del vinyl venia doblado.
