Briks tries doom metal
Artist: Electric Wizard
Album: Dopethrone
Year: 2000
Chronological position: Third album
Genre: Stoner doom
Expectations before listening: Badass, beard growth-inducing music
I'd heard some good things about this album, to say the least, by our very own Batlord. However, I didn't really sit down and listen to it before now. Finally, we decided to pick this in the album club,
IF we could also hear
Lateralus (we have a prog metalhead in the club, and he insisted to pick some Tool).
Dopethrone is probably the heaviest album I've heard in my life so far. Damn. It is the musical equivalent of getting kicked in the face with nail boots by a Gandalf-bearded devil smoking weed. Damn. Still, it's a bit repetitive. A couple of the songs could need some minutes cut away from their length. But it's badass as hell, and I will, without doubt, listen to it again.
3.5/5
