Electric Wizard – Let Us Prey (2002)

Let Us Prey perhaps lives in the shadow of Dopethrone and therefore doesn’t get the attention it may deserve. However, after giving it a go several times, it is a fairly inoffensive offering from Electric Wizard that fails to really ignite any fire for me. That is of course not to say that the album is bad – it is well recorded, executed and is very consistent across its entire runtime. There are however, for me, no stand-out tracks, and when this is the case, up against some of the more monolithic offerings from the band’s various line-ups, my attention will always be drawn to albums other than this one.
