Exciting news for Spinefarm Records as Electric Wizard have confirmed that their upcoming, currently untitled, album will be their first released via the company. Formed in 1993, Electric Wizard have built a strong cult status in the world of Doom and Heavy Metal.
Commenting on the upcoming release, front man Jus Oborn had this to say, "Our master plan is this. Real metal!! We stand for rebellion, we are with the kids; we fight, puke, smoke weed, etc... Electric Wizard is an entity, with its own history, its own symbols, its own iconography, and with this new album, we wanted to return to basic values. It's primitive. We needed to claw it back down to the evil core - sex, drugs, violence, revolution... to go back to being a band that hung out and jammed hard. No teaching songs, just feeling them out. If you jam enough and you are on the same level - artistically, musically, whatever, you gotta be committed - then good music will happen. I totally believe that..."
The band currently have the following tour dates planned in 2014:
May 2nd Temples Festival, Bristol, UK (headline)
June 20th Hellfest, Clisson, France (Valley Stage headline)
July 3rd Roskilde Festival, Roskilde, Denmark (Arena Stage)
July 4th Sonisphere, Knebworth Park, UK (stage headline)
August 16th Jabberwocky, The Excel Centre, London, UK
September 12th Reverence Valada, Portugal (headline with Hawkwind)
