Black Masses" marks the seventh time Electric Wizard cooked up a mean batch of grade-A weed and molded the classic doom metal pulse into obscure and ritualistic themes of drug-induced destruction from the ashes of psychedelic rock and intoxicated all-nighters. But I have to say, this band never fails to weird me out in the finest of ways. I'll be the first to say "Black Masses" is not the group's best offering, but the record certainly adds another hit from doom's unholy hand and the rolling thunder of Electric Wizard.

Limited to 100. (But 25 of them got water damaged due to flooding in Rise Above Records storage, so there are only 75 copies of this release in existence). This pressing was made to be given to the band members and their family and friends.

Electric Wizard are back! Their seventh full-length album for Rise Above Records sees this now legendary band enter into a new era. Still the heaviest band on the planet, this time around there is a stronger emphasis on song structure and musicianship than on previous outings. Black Masses is an encyclopedia referencing the history heavy metal from the Kinks to right through to Bathory, thematically governed by occult knowledge passed down from their ancestors.

Black Masses is the seventh studio album by English doom metal band Electric Wizard. It is the band's only album with bassist Tas Danazoglou. Supercoven, Dopethrone, and Witchcult Today. However, he does draw a contrast between Black Masses and Witchcult Today in that he views the former as "violent, aggressive" and the latter as "mellow and alluring".

Black Masses is the latest release from seminal doom overlords Electric Wizard. This band is one of the most respected in the entire doom genre; their cult hit album Dopethrone being a direct lineal descendant to the framework established by doom forefather’s Black Sabbath. However, Electric Wizard drag the corpse of the original doom sound through a miasma of swirling, blackened, psychedelia making them a much more foreboding and occult version of Sabbath. Comparisons aside, Jus Oborn (Wizards only original member) in the seventeen years of the bands existence, has created a unique beast.
