Stoners and riff-enjoyers, rejoice! Electric Wizard is slated to launch their first new studio album since 2017’s Wizard Bloody Wizard someday this yr.
Particulars stay murky in regards to the launch, although Electrical Wizard guitarist and vocalist Jus Oborn revealed the album’s existence in a current interview with It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine. The brand new document follows Electrical Wizard‘s 2024 reside album Black Magic Rituals & Perversions Vol. 1, which was launched in December.
“Effectively, we even have a brand new album coming subsequent yr. Sure, this reside LP was simply an ‘providing,’ a ‘reward’ (perhaps even a contractual obligation, haha) to you when you patiently await our new recordings,” mentioned Oborn “I am unable to see us doing multiple LP ever once more, so we’re ensuring it is bloody good. And bloody heavy.”
On what he is been listening on lately, Oborn additionally revealed he is been largely into the heavier facet of krautrock. Although I am unsure we are able to anticipate a krautrock-flavored Electrical Wizard document – that may get a bit bizarre.
“Fuck, for the reason that pandemic I went loopy rediscovering and digging new shit. Lately, lots of krautrock. I like Jeronimo, Beginning Management, Asterix, Silberbart, Wind, Scorpions, and so forth.—properly, primarily the heavy guitar stuff. I don’t actually just like the spacey hippy stuff, haha, besides Amon Düül II. They’re fucking evil and peculiar. My tastes by no means run removed from ’70s heavy metallic, actually, haha, with some black metallic or ELP each once in a while.”
