Band history
Electric Wizard was formed in 1993. Jus Oborn left his band Eternal to record a few demo songs with Tim Bagshaw and Mark Greening. Oborn played guitar and sang, Bagshaw played bass and Greening played drums. The self-titled debut album was released in 1995. With their 1997 album Come My Fanatics , the band established themselves in the doom metal scene. The dark and bass-heavy sounds gave way to stoner rock influences on the following EPs .
The band first experimented with piano and violin on the album Let Us Prey . In 2003, Mark Greening and Tim Bagshaw left the band and formed their new band, Ramesses . The only remaining founding member Jus Oborn looked for new comrades (including drummer Justin Greaves, formerly Iron Monkey ) and released the album We Live in 2004 .
In 2007 the band released a new album called Witchcult Today . It can be assigned to Doom Metal again and musically ties in with older albums. The album was recorded exclusively with equipment from the pre-70s era, so the sound is reminiscent of that of Black Sabbath's debut album Black Sabbath .
From the beginning of 2013 to mid-June 2014, the drums were officially re-occupied by founding member Mark Greening.
