Background information über 'Dopethrone'

Man, where do you even begin with "Dopethrone"? This is Electric Wizard at their absolute heaviest, most crushing peak - a monolithic slab of doom that feels like it was forged in the depths of hell itself. Released in 2000, this album basically redefined what heavy music could be, with riffs so thick and distorted they practically bend space-time around them. The production is deliberately murky and suffocating, creating this incredible wall of fuzz that just envelops you completely. Songs like "Funeralopolis" and the epic trilogy "Weird Tales" showcase the band's ability to craft these sprawling, hypnotic journeys through the darkest corners of human consciousness.

What makes "Dopethrone" so special is how it manages to be both utterly punishing and strangely meditative at the same time. Jus Oborn's vocals emerge from the sonic sludge like some ancient prophet of doom, while the rhythm section pounds out these impossibly slow, heavy grooves that feel like tectonic plates shifting. The album's themes of witchcraft, horror movies, and general misanthropy are delivered with such conviction that you can't help but get swept up in their dark majesty. It's an album that demands to be experienced at maximum volume, preferably in a dimly lit room where you can fully appreciate its overwhelming power.

For fans of:
Sleep, Monolord, Bongripper, YOB, and Windhand
