Go to the Electric Wizard website  Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics.. [Rise Above - 2006]

This classic reissue of Electric Wizard's 2nd album from 1996 finds the band drug hazed take on doom sludge, exploring the depths of strange star systems and hellish worlds beyond most imagination. The led  weighted riff’s buzzing and churning with black star cannons, and dark  audio psychedelics .

As with the rest of the  recent reissue, it  comes in a wonderfully dig-pak with extra tracks, and of course it’s been digital remastered to throw you deeper into the groove ridden black abyss. The album starts off with a few wonderfully doom crawling blackly intergalactic tracks in the form of Return trip and Wizard in Black

The second two tracks take somewhat of a different feel, the spacey and tripped out vibe gets even more pronounced; Doom Mantia utilises great echoed and deep space atmospheric guitar work- then the spacey bounced around a audio black tomb vocals drop in. The almost has a tar black tuneful indie vibe to it. Ivixor b/phase Inducer starts off with chanted female vocals- like the sound of space sirens, singing from a dieing world. It then drifts in to seriously tripped out soundscapes full of echoed dark moon guitar pickings, layers of other ‘leave you mind here as we drift up to the sky’ head tripping, sounds. The last  two tracks return towards more grounding doomy air, but still rippling with dark banks of  spaceyness.

The two extra tracks on offer are Demon Lung and Return to the son of nothingness. Demon Lung comes of sounding a bit too upbeat and radiantly 70’s rock to fit with the rest of the album. Return to the son of nothingness is a more upbeat version of the original album version- not must have tracks, but a nice addition. To buy this dark star dieing doomy, psychedelic masterpiece, slide  along here.
