Description
Electric Wizard is a world of unbridled energy and unrelenting intensity. Formed in 1993 in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, the band's early years were marked by a raw, unbridled power that would come to define their sound. Drawing on influences from the local landscape, biker culture, and the darker corners of psychedelia, Electric Wizard created a unique blend of doom metal that was both deeply personal and universally relatable. As the band's career progressed, they continued to evolve and experiment, incorporating new sounds and themes into their music. From the revolutionary second album "Come My Fanatics" to the critically-acclaimed "Witchcult", Electric Wizard's music has always been a reflection of their own experiences and obsessions. This book is a fascinating exploration of the subculture that the band has helped to create, drawing on a wide range of influences and themes. Through a kaleidoscopic exploration of the band's history, music, and aesthetic, "Come My Fanatics" offers a unique insight into the world of Electric Wizard. With its richly detailed and deeply personal account, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of the band and anyone interested in the darker corners of rock music.
