The Profile

Electric Wizard are an English doom metal band known for heavily distorted, slow, riff-driven songs and occult/horror-themed imagery; founded in Dorset and led by Jus Oborn.

Publicly known as a key band in stoner/doom; commonly cited influences include Black Sabbath, and the band formed in the early 1990s in Dorset, England, with Jus Oborn as the central member.

Across 16 reviews, Electric Wizard are framed as a British stoner/doom institution: massive, distorted riffs, occult/horror imagery, and narcotic pacing. Dopethrone and Come My Fanatics-era material are repeatedly treated as pillars, while later records split opinion (e.g., Black Masses as more “assimilable,” Wizard Bloody Wizard as lighter). A minority view calls the music repetitive and boring, highlighting how divisive the band’s slow-mantra approach can be.
