the closest thing to Electric Wizard?

[zabu of nΩd]

I love Electric Wizard, and I want to find more bands that sound like them. Throbbing, wall-shattering, deep-as-fuck guitars; lots of bass; hypnotic sound effects; good recording quality; that kind of thing. My favorite albums of theirs: Come, My Fanatics... and Dopethrone.

I express the same interest as the poster above.

Ha, I do too actually. Come My Fanatics is such a great album. Dopethrone too.

Check out Sleep. They're not as good but you may like them. I'd go with Holy Mountain and if you're man enough check out Dopesmoker.

The closest thing to E.W. is definetaly Sleep's "Jerusalem".

Eh, I've already listened to Sleep. Didn't impress me nearly as much as Wizard. While they do have the same basic formula, Wizard has a much fuller sound. For Wizard, it's just as much about the sound as it is the music.

Haven't listened to this album, though. I guess I'll give it a try.

Thanks, I'll check these guys out.

Well... I gave Jerusalem a listen, and I must say that's some pretty Zen shit. They definitely got the stoner vibe down on that one. A little diversity wouldn't hurt though. I was wondering why they named all the tracks the same.

I like dopethrone. Orange Goblin play a similar style of music, you may want to try them.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Already have - Goblin doesn't really sound like Wizard. Much more rock 'n' roll sounding, and faster-paced.

 

[Sabin Frost]

It is definetely more punk driven but their older stuff is a lot slower. It is the same style of music, comparing the two is a bit like comparing My Dying Bride to Paradise Lost in the early years of their careers.

any of those any good, or way off the mark?

Uhh... Sunn0))) and Earth play Drone... I wouldn't go as far to call Wizard that.

Towards the bottom of that long list the only connection is that they both play extreme metal.
