Description: Come My Fanatics by Dan Franklin Fully approved biography of the Wizard, the Dorset-doom metal band who for over two decades have set the bar for heaviness FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Electric Wizard is heavy, man - we dont sing about love and flowers. Jus ObornIn 1993, in the market town of Wimborne Minster in Dorset, England, the heaviest band in the world was born. Led by guitarist and singer Jus Oborn, Electric Wizard began as an untameable power trio. They inhaled the iniquity of their lives and vomited it out in colossal waves of doom metal, synthesising the forbidding local landscape, biker culture, video-nasties, black magic rituals and titanic doses of psychedelics. In 1997 they released their revolutionary second album, Come My Fanatics... Then, after triumphant and calamitous tours of the USA and following the release of arguably the heaviest rock album ever recorded, 2000s Dopethrone, Electric Wizard all but imploded, destroyed by the very reality they were fighting against. However, when guitarist Liz Buckingham joined Oborn on guitar for We Live, they drew a magic circle around themselves in a new line-up that went on to explore deeper occult horrors on modern doom classic Witchcult Today onwards. Come My Fanatics is a kaleidoscopic exploration of the subculture the band has absorbed and, in turn, created. From seventies exploitation cinema, through the writers of Weird Tales magazine and a panoply of the marginal and downright sinister, to the bands own live ceremonial happenings - this is Electric Wizards world. Were just dying in it. Author Biography Dan Franklin has written about metal and heavy music for over ten years. He is a contributor to music and pop culture website The Quietus. His first book HEAVY was published in 2020. Review The mythos, the madness, the mastery: a journey to the blackened vortex of the most eigmatic band in the cosmos. Franklin ventures further into the Wizards subcultural maelstrom than anyone has ever dared. Absolutely essential * Harry Sword, author of Monolithic Undertow *Dan Franklin has somehow written a book that reads exactly how Electric Wizard sound, with everything turned up to eleven and an omnivorous approach to the outlaw occulture that inspired them. A deafening classic * David Keenan, author of This Is Memorial Device * Details ISBN1474625401 Author Dan Franklin Publisher Orion Publishing Co Year 2023 ISBN-10 1474625401 ISBN-13 9781474625401 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-06-22 UK Release Date 2023-06-22 Imprint White Rabbit Country of Publication United Kingdom Subtitle A Journey into the World of Electric Wizard Pages 368 DEWEY 782.421660922 Audience General AU Release Date 2023-09-11 NZ Release Date 2023-09-11 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
