If you haven’t done research on the background of this album, I’ll tell you some about it, cause it’s quite interesting and definitely adds a lot to this album and its sound as well. So basically they recorded this album during a time where they all was dealing with drug and alcohol problems. They felt just pure hate. Because of that they wanted to make the most ugly and disgusting album ever. Jus Osborn said in an interview talking about the album: “Most of us were stuck in some drug addiction or alcoholism at the time, and it was just pure hate. It was us against the world, and we just wanted to make the most disgusting, foul, putrid record that anyone has ever recorded. We camped out at the studio, so it was literally just wake up, consume as much fucking drugs as possible, and then just start jamming.” - Jus Osborn This was also their third album. When they recorded the debut (self titled) they were just a new band and really didn’t have a clue of what to do. Their second album (Come My Fanatics…) is really where Electric Wizard became the Electric Wizard we all know and love, that’s where they found their sound. By the time they were recording Dopethrone, the band knew exactly what to do in the studio. Where they perfect the sound they had found on Come My Fanatics…
actually dopethrone wasn't intended to be a full album, it was meant to be just another short ep like supercoven, they had only written funeralopolis dopetrhone and we hate you before getting to the studio, everything else was written during the recording
Great reaction! "Dopethrone" and "Come My Fanatics": the two main masterpieces of the masterful Electric Wizard...I also love another album: "Black Masses"...But, in reality, the band's entire discography is excellent!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!
If you do another electric wizard album or even listen to another full one in your spare time I fully recommend Witchcult today. I know for sure you'll enjoy it along with Come my fanatics. This band is one of my favorites and it's great to see someone enjoy them as much as I do! Love the channel!
I've honestly never seen anybody enjoy this album for the first time *not* completely baked. I mean, that's kind of the ritual - it's all good though! @ 39:32 - Doooom...!
@@g-man4744 What's funny is I realized since posting I actually heard it first time stone sober in the NYPL of all places. I'd say since then I've listened sober maybe 10% of spins, like at work. Not required, but if I knew somebody who would enjoy this album for the first time and they smoked, I would recommend.
YES! It's so exciting to see folks get into my favorite band. I think you should check out another amazing band. They're called OM, and the album you should check out first is Variations on a Theme. OM is a doom band like no other. Fantastic stuff.
Totally agree. They got the bouncy drums and the groove that electric wizard does so well with the bass guitar especially. I love the groove on electric wizard albums and om for sure. It vibes lol
We need a reaction to the supercoven "EP" now. And my personal favorite Wizard album, although Dopethrone is the go to and my first one, Is "We Live". Take Dopethrone and crank the sludge from 11 to 12.
Also along you Stoner Metal Journey indefinitely recommend checking out the band "Mephistofeles". Solid, solid grooves coming out of Argentina. The best riffs I've heard from any band still active right now. And that's saying something. My stoner metal playlist on Spotify is 130 hours and still growing every day. Completely hand picked too
@@captofthecrunch1942 If you haven't already checked out Salem's Pot I highly recommend it to you, they're in same vein as EW and Mephistopheles. My picks for you would be: ...lurar ut dig på prärien Sweeden The Aquarian Age 🙏
@@highpriestess1792 oh trust me I have hahaha. Such a good band. My stoner metal playlist is currently 1200 songs and 130 hours long. All hand picked. There's not many bands I haven't at least heard of if not listened to already
@captofthecrunch1942 Oh damn, that's a bummer that I didn't surprise you with something new... They're pretty obscure and most likely disbanded now. But still, it's great that you know of them, they're crazy good indeed! Your playlist sounds impressive, I consider myself very well versed in stoner-doom music but I'll definitely go through your selection in case I've missed something cool haha Cheers, mate! \m/
The guitar tone is so NASTY on this album! No one - not even electric wizard themselves - could recapture it, it really is lightning in a bottle moment in metal history.
Damn man, I could listen to this album for the rest of my life, It's so unique and so full of emotion I can't explain, there is nothing that comes even remotely close to it
I listened to this album this week while walking around the local farmers market. It is amazing walking around such a normal scene listening to such insane music. A classic album for certain.
You've done before a little bit of King Diamond ("Abigail"), but I'd encourage you to check out his other band Mercyful Fate. Definitely up the same alley as classic Sabbath, Electric Wizard, and such. Albums: Melissa Don't Break The Oath Fatal Portrait (which is technically the first King Diamond [band] album, but many consider it to be the "third" Mercyful Fate album) All 10/10 albums!!!
Now that you’ve heard the album in full, I highly highly suggest you do a stoned reaction. Not kidding when I say it sounds like a completely different record. Electric Wizard understood how to distort time in a way nearly no other band could.
Classic EW line up of Jus Oborn (vocals), Tim Bagshaw (bass) and Mark Greening (drums). With Dopethrone I always listen to Supercoven, and the first three tracks on Come My Fanatics: Return Trip, Wizard in Black, Doom-Mantia. This is beyond music, this is sinking into the universe for eternity.
God damn… 20 year old, Black Sabbath worshipping, metal head me, listening to this in the early 2000s with some nutty skunk and the Windows Media Player psychedelic background projected onto a wall at 2am…never imagined a woman existed that would appreciate Electric Wizard. 😂 Fuck yes Kira! Fuck yes!
1:16:40 TV show 20 20 did a programme about this called "the devil worshippers". Think the conversation is lifted from that(aswell as many other samples) The whole show can be found here.
If you like Electric Wizard check out the amazing Japanese band Church Of Misery and Acid King , Bongripper ,Weedeater , Sleep , Eyehategod, Monolord , Cough and finally the fabulous YOB
One of the greatest stoner sludge doom albums. I love your reactions!!!! Give a listen to the three best bands of the traditional doom genre in my opinion: Candlemass, Reverend Bizarre and Cathedral.
If you ever get the chance, visiting New Orleans and going to a bar show is worth it. A blunt will just get passed to you for no reason other than that you’re there, and they have a good handful of doom bands, and other shit, and other bands travel there specifically for the bars
As excited as I was first time hearing this, I see 😊❤ most of their catalogue is absolutely worth it and then some, but this is their defining statement as I see it. It has everything 🔥
Can almost see the smoke pouring out of my ears. Heavy as Hell. Only complaint: vocals are kinda buried beneath all the bass and guitar. But a fun listen anyhow. How they got that thicker than motor oil in Antarctica sludge sound is beyond me. Combine Eyehategod, Cathedral, Candlemass, and Black Sabbath Volume4 era and you get this. Quite an accomplishment.
Music that so monotonous and minimalistic can become attractive only through the exquisite work with the tone of the instruments, and here such work has not been done sufficiently. Nevertheless, this longplay shows how minimalistic things can be quite spectacular and catchy - as some of minimalist billboard, for example. Listening to music like the one on this record, it's impossible to not remember a classic of psychedelic industrial metal - Ministry masterpiece 'Filth Pig' from 1996.
You really loved Sabbath but people tend to think that sabbath played heavy metal (which they did from Heaven and Hell and onward)so they adviced more heavy metal stuff but I remember you diggin the first albums which ACTUALLY are stoner/doom! You being crazy with E.Wizard makes so much sense
This that an' still, I do enjoy my metal. Dry, hard, slow 'n' hard again. I wish I could do a show in the Aussies, but fuck me to the head, It will never happen.. More beer and weed in this cold ass Nordic hellhole, I guess...
the drone is the drug... on explosion it feels like sawblade ripping through the cosmos... great sabbath worship... funeralopolis means death to civility...good video
Dude I’ve never seen someone so HYPED for stoner doom.. their asses are too stoned to move so much 😂 your reaction is how my mind feels internally but outside I’m just like 😵💫
I love seeing you enjoy Electric Wizard. They are a band that on paper, I should enjoy. It’s purely taste. They are the Angela Lansbury of metal. I see the talent, but I just can’t get into them.
i heard this band before, but i liked more the other stoner bands, like 1000mood - El Rollito or 1000mods - Vidage, bands like these are known by barely no one
>when the dopethrone riff comes back but heavier
Weird tales 😂 jus has a very good idea of what heavy sound like💪
A lady excited for 71 minutes of Dopethrone
..you are a keeper for sure 😄
Cringe comment
I think you would love Windhand: they're similar to Electric Wizard, female fronted and she has melody lines that are very Ozzy-ish.
Windhand are indeed awsome aswell
Fire
Check out SLEEP and their album Holy Mountain.
Riff city this one, she'd love it

The best album track list of all time, and one hell of an album.

Discovered this album while on probation, with weekly drugs tests. It was in constant rotation for the duration.

High On Fire...Matt Pikes bannd after Sleep. Also stellar Stoner rock!
Their self titled first album and witchcult today are their greatest works of art. Liz is the queen of doom.
You are my kind of people, “come my fanatics” is also an amazing work. So many good memories with electric wizard as a backdrop.
The Surrounded By Thieves or Blessed Black Wings albums from High On Fire would probably be right up your alley
This might be the most exciting reaction video ever!

Oh for similar, Orange Goblin, Prong!
So you asked how the sound this way, they are tuned to B (low as f"ck) and they use a fuzz distortion effect on their guitars!

You’ve never been to electric wizard shows or with metalhead women then. I’ve had a couple gfs that we would exclusively bang to EW
You’ve never been to EW shows then man. I’ve had 2 super hot gfs that would exclusively bangTo the Wizard
Dopethrone is just the metalhead version of dark side of the moon. Both are genre defining classics. Both are meant to be listened to on drugs.
You remind me so much of Jess from New Girl, the mannerisms... "oh these lyrics are dark but, lets party anyway" Love it, don't ever change !
Perfect headphones listen. There’s so much going on in the background here & there. However nothing beats the breathing out as Funeralopolis kicks in
Watching this makes me so happy 🔥
Stoned to the Bone 420 💨💨🕳
Give Fu Manchu a try. Not as heavy, but pioneers of Stoner Rock.
I highly recommend: Age of winters album by the band, the sword.
Post Malone is a fan of em
I prefer the Warp Riders album, but Age of Winter and Apocryphon are pretty great too
I may be alone for Valentines day but this will help keep me busy. I like reactions to this band so thanks.
oh man i could not have clicked this faster lol
Me too
If you think that was cool, just wait until you hear Witchcult Today.
Yes!!! That album is v underrated in my opinion!!!
Also there’s some vhs recordings of them in the studio recording this album on here!
I totally relate to giggles and squeals of glee. I love this album!

Stoner Rock/Doom...So many good bands in this genre to check out. The Obsessed being my fave! 🎸
that fucking last track on the album.
The band you're thinking of at 37:03 is probably Witchfinder General. You'd probably like them, very Black Sabbath-esque.
There is a band called Witchfynde! I've seen James Hetfield wearing their t-shirt before so she may have seen the name somewhere

electric wizard return trip is another great song from them
You should totally check out witchcult today from them, it's even better in my opinion!
You like doom, you like bass... I recommand you the band OM and the album God Is Good.
Try YOB next, live at Pickathon "Adrift in the Ocean" would be a great starter. Mind exploding stuff.
More Opeth please!
My kingdom for a Still Life or Blackwater Park full cut reaction.
Just like the, the dirtiest doom ever and just happily smiling from ear to ear😂
Dopethrone is probably the hardest track EW has ever dropped. When the verse riff comes back but heavier, it's not something you can recover from
A couple more bands to check out, OM and Acid king.
