As the COVID pandemic took hold in 2020, Electric Wizard wondered if they might ever play live again. Out in the wilds of the English Westcountry where singer/guitarist Jus Oborn and guitarist Liz Buckingham live, the band descended into their crypt-like jam space to make a live album like no other.
Opening with the enormous Dopethrone, and taking in signature apocalyptic doom staples like Witchcult Today, Satanic Rites of Drugula and the ever-destructive Funeralopolis, the set here shows how powerful and dominating The Wizard can be.
Jus says he wanted to capture a feeling like that of Motörhead’s classic No Sleep ‚til Hammersmith (1981), or the sense from KISS’ ALIVE! (1975) that you were getting a window into something, a world the band created. It’s also, he says, an opportunity for a band as big and cult-like as Electric Wizard to bring something from metal’s dirty underbelly into the light, if only for the purposes of freaking out the unprepared.
