Electric Wizard "Dopethrone"
(Rise Above)
I do not know if I love or hate ELECTRIC WIZARD, their ultra heavy music is total, absolute brilliant,
the vocals from Jus Osborn could however be much better. As a matter of fact I hate the vocals, so in a way I
both love and hate this album. When ELECTRIC WIZARD go jamming the way they do I can´t think of no other band
as heavy and spaced out as them. But they should try to get a real singer because if they do so they will most likley throw
Cathedral down from the dopethrone and be the kings of sludge,dope metal or whatever you prefer to call it. The heavieness of
"dopethrone" is of a kind that you don´t encounter to often. When I heard this album for the first I can imagine what people felt when Black Sabbath released
their first album. Ozzy could not sing back then but his voice somehow fit to "sabs" music. Jus voice DO NOT fit ELECTRIC WIZARDS music.
so I suggest that Jus let go off the mic and just play his guitar, they will most likley find a person that is addicted to every drug you can name who is willing to
sing and for sure will do it better than Jus. I wonder if there is any studiotracks from the recording sessions of "Dopethrone" that don´t have any
vocals added, if so I would very much like to have them. So please ELECTRIC WIZARD keep jus away from the mic and let him do what he does best,
the guitar, and find someone that can sing and you will be alone on the dopethrone.
