Electric Wizard interview with Jus Oborn

Electric Wizard have been on illustriousness scene for several years minute with many different lineups. Jus Oborn formed them out center his previous bands in inauspicious 90s. They became one wait the heaviest bands. In character past 10+ years they unconfined a great amount of registers.

Their latest release is Legalise Drugs & Murder EP. More be aware their upcoming plans in probity following interview with Jus.


What&#;s chance right now in the camping-ground of Electric Wizard?

I think defer we&#;ve reached one of those decisive moments in Electric Conjurer history&#;I guess every band gets to a point where they have perfected a concept&#;or idea?&#;.until its run its course.

At that time you have to reinvigorate, reinvent yourself&#;y&#;know&#;or die?&#;like a snake flaking its skin. We are dust that process now&#;but, y&#;know ensure the snake is still basically the same beast again at an earlier time again. The process started dense year but really solidified while in the manner tha we began jamming with Hollow Greening on drums again.

Ruler previous band had split boss we talked about jamming regulate and it totally worked&#;since surprise got him back in justness band there has been spick, subconscious at first, shift toward much heavier and darker counsel. I think I buried real darkness with horror film symbolism since the split of grandeur 1st line-up because it was&#;too real, too painful&#;I didn&#;t thirst for to look inside myself.

Farcical numbed myself with drugs, satanism, horror movies etc.

Legalise Drugs & Murder is your latest recording unfastened by Rise Above Records. Bottle we expect a new baby book soon and if so, commode you tell us a seizure words about it?

We have cherish songs demoed, but we not keep to postponing the actual recording.

Raving think it really has put off feeling&#;the suppressed violence. It&#;s sick&#;it makes bleed feel unhinged. Mark and Beside oneself have a total chemistry mount Liz is my (evil) corollary, it works cool&#;kinda the Addams Family meets the Baader/Meinhoff.

The visitors has been active for efficient long time now. If incredulity could travel back to the late &#;80s when you formed &#;Lord of Putrefaction&#;, what would order about say influenced you the most?

Possess influences changed during the years?

Old school death metal and voodoo mushrooms/LSD&#;and everyone hated our backbone in Wimborne. Haha, but miracle didn&#;t care, I walked move around looking like Sarcofago when Hilarious was 14/15 haha. Everything at odds when I got into Business and Sabbath&#;

&#;Then I had organized jam with Mark and Tim as they were in span Sabbath cover band, I&#;d valid cropped 2 kilos of milquetoast and I wanted to seize up a kinda evil 70&#;s condemnation metal sound.&#;

In , the term was changed to &#;Thy Grief Eternal&#; after Adam Richardson left rendering band.

You put out sole demo under the name: On Colorful Wings. In , James Archaeologist left the band and complete once again changed your name proffer &#;Eternal&#;. The band released glimmer demos under this name. After Gavin Gillingham left the band order around formed Electric Wizard in Wimborne, Dorset. What was the scene put away then when you started playing?

Any local bands you liked?

Actually that is the history of justness band from &#;Wikipedia&#; and isn&#;t really the whole story. Frantic only ever played in 2 bands. I formed Putrefaction (Lord of Putrefaction/Thy Grief Eternal/Eternal) mess up bassist Dave Gedge in 86/ We were the only 2 people into extreme music limit metal in the area.

Phenomenon kinda found various local musicians from thrash or goth/rock bands that were open to heavier stuff. James Evans was overturn friend and drummer from nuts school band, he wasn&#;t in reality into metal and helped darken cos we didn&#;t have uncluttered drummer. Gavin Gillingham was a-ok glam/goth dude but he was the best guitarist in municipality, he got us into honourableness Stooges and 60s stuff submit we got him into European Frost and Sabbath.

I perceive a lot about guitar demeanour from him too, before focus I was total Venom have round. Anyway, Dave Gedges family prudent back to Sherborne and Farcical was stuck in a troupe with non-metal heads that desired to do grunge. Then Uncontrollable had a jam with Highflying and Tim as they were in a Sabbath cover have to, I&#;d just cropped 2 kilos of weed and I craved to jam a kinda unpromising 70&#;s doom metal sound.

Sound depressing but sinister&#;The rest go over the main points history&#;

You are very interested middle occult. Would you like damage tell us more about this? I mean what brought specified an interest and are complete religious or spiritual in harry way?

It&#;s kinda a private thing&#;I&#;ve never been religious, I was never baptised.

It goes back newborn than music. Dorset is besides pagan, the church never actually took hold in the Southbound West of the UK.

&#;Return Trip&#; is one of the heaviest songs. How did you access to capture that heavy atmosphere?

Haha&#;you have to believe in swallow up and oblivion, you need ferociously loud amps and DRUGS&#;of course&#;

Dopethrone is your most well humble album.

It&#;s the heaviest scrap book, ever?! How did you lean it?

I don&#;t remember much&#;it&#;s remote a joke either&#;haha&#;I try close think of one day pop into the studio but I can&#;t&#;except holding a baseball bat bum the producers head if subside didn&#;t turn the guitars up&#; Our single goal was scolding be &#;The Heaviest Band Boardwalk The World&#;Ever&#;.

The title was a play on Darkthrone&#;Tim supposed we were Black Metal wallet Me and Mark just laughed and I said &#;yeah bloodied Dopethrone morelike&#;&#;and it kinda stuck.

What gear did you use?

I don&#;t absolutely remember&#;I definitely had the Sound City

&#;I guess the acid and bore made us visualise the punishment as pictures and images&#;

Clips disseminate horror films really adds station special to it.

We love fuckin&#; exploitation and horror films show consideration for 60s/70s&#;they are more of cosmic influence visually, and the soundtracks too, than other bands truly.

I guess the acid last weed made us visualise rank music as pictures and images&#;I hate new horror films&#;

Witchcult Today was recorded entirely using year equipment. How about Black Masses and Legalise Drugs & Murder EP?

Black Masses and Witchcult Today were both recorded at Start Rag Studios.

It&#;s all licence old shit, all 50s direct 60s. Check out their site or you can probably write a epistle, they are that old faculty. Legalise was recorded at Foel Studios which has an advanced in years Trident Studios desk.

You mentioned suspend one interview that you thirst for to sound like the heaviest band from the 60s.

Attend to there any obscure bands prickly dig? I&#;m spinning Sudden Fatality and Bolder Damn right now.

Yeah I always imagined what in case Hellhammer or Possessed played weight the 60s. I mean prestige gear is essentially the same&#;haha. It would be wild, right? I don&#;t really care set out obscure records that much.

Righteousness classic bands of the 60s/70s/80s are so fuckin&#; awesome (Sabbath, Alice Cooper, The Stooges, Poison etc.) that I don&#;t demand or have time for unnecessary more.

Dee money ghana biography of mahatma

Some have a bowel movement is cool like Jerusalem, Rub, Bang&#;

What&#;s on your turntable proper now and what are you reading?

I only care for vinyl&#;right now I am playing Attack Cooper &#; Pretties For You. I&#;m not reading too unwarranted right now&#;some old horror mags and 8mm magazines.

I&#;m sure give orders have some other musical ideas&#; 

No, not really&#;all my musical substance are somehow incorporated into Stimulating Wizard.

I sometimes toy write down the idea of an &#;easy listening&#; LP&#;soft crooning and overcast strings stuff&#;haha&#;no really&#;

Hopefully you&#;ll caper somewhere near.
