Electric Wizard - We Live (LP)

Electric Wizard's "We Live," released on January 1, 2004, under Rise Above Records, is a sonic journey through the darker realms of stoner, sludge, doom, and drone metal. Clocking in at just under an hour, this album is a dense and heavy experience, featuring seven tracks that delve into the murky depths of sonic exploration. The album opens with "Eko Eko Azarak: Invocation/Ritual," setting the tone for the slow, heavy, and hypnotic journey that follows. Tracks like "Flower Of Evil A.K.A. Malifore" and "Saturn's Children" showcase the band's signature slow, doom-laden riffs and atmospheric soundscapes. "The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue" closes the album, leaving the listener in a state of heavy, drone-induced introspection. "We Live" is a testament to Electric Wizard's ability to craft immersive and heavy soundscapes that push the boundaries of their chosen genres.
