Pre-Electric Wizard Is Pretty Wizard: Part III
Eternal: Lucifer's Children
Finally we come to the final band that would eventually come to be known as Electric Wizard. I remember this band the least and would partake of them again...
The first thing to notice is that any remaining death metal influences in Thy Grief Eternal are gone. Even the doom isn't as prominent. This is pure stoner metal. Jus had obviously been jamming out to his assuredly used and abused copy of
Master of Reality, cause that album is all over this s
hit. The production on this album isn't the greatest though. It's not quite as heavy as I'd like an Electric Wizard associated band to be even though it's pretty good and muddy. That said, this is some highly fun, if not particularly original stoner metal that shouts it's Sabbath worship from the rooftops. Electric Wizard would soon overshadow this band, but it's good stuff none the less.
Side note: The album begins with the same sample from the beginning of "Wizard In Black" off
Come My Fanatics... Kewl.
