Frontman Jus Obern offered the following comment:
"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?"
I'm surprised they haven't broken into the mainstream yet. Maybe it's for the best, because then they'd probably be forced into mixing metalcore with their brand of Sabbathian sludgy oooey-gooey doom.
