Electric Wizard, Supercoven
2000 | Label: Southern Lord

Clearly, these drugged-out Brits wouldn't exist if it weren't for early Black Sabbath. Each of the songs on this 30-minute mini-album rides a lumbering, distorted groove fueled by reverberating power chords, booming bass and menacing drum fills. The only thing missing is Ozzy's cries of "We love you all! Go fucking crazy!" And yet, Electric Wizard are credible precisely because they out-Sabbath Sabbath. There's no effort to find a melody or pursue a chorus on Supercoven. The songs are driven purely by the pulse of their own monochromatic riffs, achieving mind-altering euphoria through sheer repetition. In other words, these guys take their stoner metal seriously. You might not walk around whistling their tunes or anything, but as long as there's a little kind bud around, Electric Wizard will keep the bowl burning bright.

Excellently Intense!

This sound is deep, dark bass-laden joy. The lengthy tracks allow you to get right into the head swaying bass guitar grooves, immersing yourself in a fantastically realised dangerous atmosphere. Superb!

God damn, this is good.

The live cut is fairly unmemorable. Otherwise this is pure doom bliss.

Electric Wizard purveys the sort of grungy, sludgy, psychedelic heavy metal epitomized in the 1990s by Monster Magnet (and pioneered by Black Sabbath and Hawkwind). Supercoven is only 32 minutes long, but it provides a concise, concentrated burst of the band’s signature, druggy sound. [A remastered Supercoven added two bonus tracks, "Wizards of Gore" and a ten-minute eponymous live track.] – Steve Huey
