Electric Wizard from Dorset (((England))) are one of the heaviest bands on the planet. Electric Wizard plays psychedelic doom metal influenced by Rock’n’Roll and cosmic horror. Jus Oborn is the mastermind behind the band, and he has been the driving force since the late 80’s, when the band was playing Death Doom and formerly known as Lord of Putrefaction and Thy Grief Eternal. Electric Wizard is in the same sonic league of legendary heavy bands like Black Sabbath, Sleep, Kyuss & White Zombie. After headlining the largest metal festival in America, Maryland Death Fest, in 2012, Electric Wizard finally set out on a North American Tour this year. Tickets for the San Francisco show sold out within 10 minutes of hitting the box office. I tetrised myself to the front/center stage to capture this footage and I took a beating filming this, but it was well worth it to catch one of my favorite bands performing live.
Their setlist for the evening was:
0:00 Witchcult
08:48 Black Mass
14:20 Satanic Rites of Drugula
20:18 Dopethrone
26:56 Return Trip
36:36 Incense for the Damned
