Electric Wizard – Witchcult Today (2007)

February 26, 2024

This thing fucking slaps more witch titties than a sleazy hooded dungeon master in a shlocky 70s sexploitation flick. I may be slightly biased, as outside of the mammoth “Funeralopolis” on Dopethrone, Witchcult Today was the album that sold me on Leccy Wiz. The album I feel, despite it’s “wind tunnel” production, has some of the best stoner / doom tracks ever recorded, such as “Satanic Rites Of Drugula” and the eerily-similar in opening riff terms, “Torquemada 71”. You’ve also got “The Chosen Few” and “Dunwich” too, and these four songs alone are worth the price of entry.

The one downside is that this falls apart easily on a lot of different platforms. You need a good fucking stereo system and a physical copy of the album to really get the most out of this bad boy.
