Electric Wizard is a British doom metal band hailing from Dorset, England, that formed in 1993, crafted by vocalist and guitarist Jus Oborn. Renowned for their heavy, sludgy riffs, and their ability to meld the creeping dread of doom metal with the amplified fuzz of stoner rock, Electric Wizard has become one of the most influential bands in the doom metal genre. Their music is steeped in the darkness of horror cinema and occult themes, which is clearly reflected in both their lyrical content and their album artwork.

One of their most acclaimed albums, "Dopethrone," released in 2000, is considered a touchstone of the genre, manifesting what many fans and critics regard as the quintessential essence of doom metal. Over the years, Electric Wizard has persisted with a constantly evolving lineup around Oborn, marking a catalogue of heavy and hypnotic albums, including "Witchcult Today" and "Black Masses." Their more recent works continue to delve into their established sound while refining their production and thematic approaches, with releases like "Wizard Bloody Wizard" and "Time To Die" solidifying their status as doom metal titans. Each album is a new chapter in the Electric Wizard lore, consistently drawing in listeners who crave the crushing weight of their signature sonorous riffs and diabolic atmosphere.
