"For a soundtrack to the end of the world, there is no bandbetter than Electric Wizard. As the COVID pandemic took hold in 2020 and lockdownrestricted movement to your immediate surrounds, thelegendary British doom outfit wondered if they might everplay live again. Out in the wilds of the EnglishWestcountry, where singer / guitarist Jus Oborn andguitarist Liz Buckingham live, the band descended intotheir crypt-like jam space to make a live album like noother. With no audience, and no actual plan to release what theycame out with, they recorded themselves into a 16-tracktape machine to capture their essence, their malevolence,their heaviness. “We’d been gigging for two years at that point, aroundAmerica three times, going to Japan and Australia, and wewere sounding pretty good by the end of it,”says Jus.“When the pandemic happened, we thought, ‘Fuck it,maybe we’ll never play again.’ So we went into the jamroom and played the songs to get them on tape to capturehow we were playing at the time.” The final product, ‘Black Magic Rituals & Perversions Vol.1’, is as raw and heavy as one would expect from TheWizard. For fans of Acid King, Sleep, Bongzilla, Eyehategod, UncleAcid & The Deadbeats, Thou, Weedeater, Black Sabbath.""
