This album will crush your skull!.......2007-05-09

If you dig heavy music, this is a must have for your collection. This is low end doom heavy, like Sabbath on acid x 10. This is a really, really great listen, super psychadelic and trippy, crazy, creepy, heavy doom riffs from some planet light years away were the creatures evolved from shroom spores and spiked leather collars.

And to top it off, this cacophony of doomcore is a power trio of burnouts from England.

Top notch, if you dig the heavy, cop this album immediately if not sooner.

Also, import seems to have an extra track at the end, bonus!

sooooo....hhhhheeeeeeeaaaaaavvvvvyyyyyyyyyy.......2007-07-05

Mother of god...this is it, dudes. In this newly popular again (oddly enough) style of music that has been tagged "doom" "sludge" or "stoner metal" by countless desperate-to-be-cool hipsters, it seems that, as a band, you have to go either one of two ways: the groove-based Sabbath-and-acid worship of bands like Sleep, Kyuss, Witchcraft and the like, or the ultra-low-and-slow "funeral doom" or "drone" groups like SunnO))), Burning Witch, Melvins or any number of bands that sound like they shot up a molasses-and-smack concoction straight to their veins. Electric Wizard defies this distinction with their masterpiece, "Dopethrone", perfecting a combination of mind-warping Iommi-worship riffs and downtuned heaviness that is simply jawdropping. I will say this: played on OK-to-crappy speakers, there is something lost that really requires a good stereo or set of headphones to get through; weak speakers just can't handle the ultra-low sonic frequencies produced.

Things start off with the incredibly short (by Electric Wizard standards, that is) "Vinum Sabbathi". Actually a pretty decent song, but only a taste of what's to come. After it wraps up, the ensuing feedback segues right into the epic behemoth of a song that is "Funeralopolis", whose drawn out intro is accentuated by the sound of a gurgling bong in the background, and may very well be the most Sabbathian moment on the album, save for the quick jam "The Hills Have Eyes". However, once the floodgates open and the band unleashes with full brain-melting force, you will be left with little recourse aside from letting your mouth hang open in dumb awe until the album finishes with the mammoth musical apocalypse that is the title track.

"Dopethrone" is easily the best entry into the Wizard catalog so far. The first, self-titled album is little more than Cathedral and Sabbath homage, although done very well; it's their most "fun" album, if that word applies. "Come My Fanatics" took things up (or should I say down?) a few thousand notches, and is a vile sludge masterpiece to this day; "Return Trip" must be heard to be believed. But "Dopethrone" is something special. The clean production might put some off, but I think it is needed to truly convey the universe-collapsing heaviness that only Electric Wizard can pull off. As far as the "doom" (whatever that has come to mean) genre goes, this stands as one of the all-time classics, standing atop the metal mountain alongside Sleep's "Dopesmoker", Saint Vitus' "Born Too Late", and the first four Sabbath albums; sonically, it exceeds all in pure low-frequency fuzz-drenched heaviness. If you are a newcomer to the "stoner metal" thing--modified hipster who just heard Mastodon last week and traded in his skin-tight Poison The Well shirt for a slightly-more-comfortable High On Fire one, I'm lookin' at you, bub--get your hands on this monolith and let class begin. This is as real as it gets.

Electric Wizard - 'Dopethrone' (Music Cartel).......2007-06-17

Whoa! Great doom metal by this British power trio. Saw the band on this actual tour. Cuts here I found myself playing several times to obtain even more brain damaging effects were "Vinum Sabbathi", the fifteen-minute; four-part epic "Weird Tales / Electric Frost / Golgotha / Altar Of Melektaus", "Barbarian" and the closing, twenty-minute title track "Dopethrone". Notice the music on this CD might not be so hard, loud or even fast but nonetheless, it's extremely H-E-A-V-Y! Highly recommended, if you dig this genre.

Pure Fuzzy Fun.......2006-10-15

First let me say this album is not solely for fans of the doom genre, I enjoyed it long before I knew there was such a genre. It is simply an album for those that enjoy a good bit of heavy, low-end rock with an undeniable 70s styling. No pretence, no never ending guitar licks, just flat out heavy fun.

To put this album in a little bit of context, Electric Wizard established themselves as a class doom/stoner act with their s/t debut which showed signs of later writing, and their monolithic tour de force of fuzzy riffs, "Come My Fanatics". "Dopethrone" sees the band continue the vast songwriting, huge juicy riffs and enough low-end to do some serious ear damage. Arguably their career highlight, this is sure to give you a thrill if you're into this sort of thing, and for those new to the genre, be prepared for a big, bludgeoning ride of juicy fun.

"Dopethrone" also marks Jus Oborn's introduction to the distorted, `behind the mix' vocal effect, which I initially questioned, but have grown to love. The result puts far more emphasis on the riffs and also gives a new abrasive, almost gritty vibe that the previous albums lacked. The style is best highlighted in the brooding I, The Witchfinder, with Oborn's verse delivery truly eerie and desolate. Perhaps the highlight to the album is Funeralopolis, simply one of EW's best opening riffs, incorporated perfectly in a two-section structure that sees another absolutely killer riff rampage for the closing minutes. A real adrenaline rush, ended perfectly by an exhausted, panting, simple exhortation of `f*ck' from Jus. It works, it really does.

Other standout tracks include the monumental Weird Tales, clocking in at over 15 minutes, the song glides through everything one could adore about EW - big riffs, tempo changes, psychedelic atmospherics and of alternative lyrics inspired by science fiction and, well, `weird tales'.

"Dopethrone" is quite simply a landmark in the doom genre, it is what every band should aim for - sumptuous riffs, psychedelic moments, interesting song structures and a complete lack of pretence, something I admire in EW. This album is not solely for doom fans as I stated earlier, if you're a fan of a good heavy slab of rocking fun, it would be a mistake to overlook this.

Colossal fusion of stoned riffing and pure white noise.......2001-06-17

If you can imagine Merzbow covering Black Sabbath, that's what this album sounds like. All of the songs are built on heavy, downtuned proto-Sabbath slo-mo riffs, but the sound is so loud, so huge, and so fuzzed-out that it borders on being a noise album. Possibly the heaviest record ever made and certainly one of the loudest. Their earlier albums are good (and almost as noisy) but this is a quantum leap forward in every direction -- sound, playing, riffs, song construction, everything -- and is absolutely essential.

Best doom record since Cathedral's "Forest of Equilibrium".......2001-01-10

Electric Wizard have put together the best doom recording since Cathedral's "Forest of Equilibrium". Warn your neighbors before playing this one, because you might just break their china cabinets if you play this too loud...heck, you might even break some cabinets in China - it is that freakin' heavy! Check them out on tour with WarHorse - this tour promises to crack the foundation of every venue that dares to have them play.
