Well there is few albums out there that can be considered as something keenly magical. When you listen to Electric Wizard-Dopethrone, you get this aura of magical delicacies all around you.
Hailing from England, the band goes forth to prove they are the "heaviest band in the world". Such a phrase they actually backup in Dopethrone. The first song you hear when listening is Vinum Sabbathi and has quite a parallel to early Black Sabbath. The second song Funerapolis starts out very slow, minimalistic; it builds up towards the end where you hear groovy riffs, enough to make you sway your head. When Weird Tales comes your way you get the stonerness getting right in your face. Very groovy and upbeat. Barbarian has that same effect on the mind but with a slightly down tempo pace. I, the Witchfinder is interesting because its so dark and has elements of Funeral doom in it. What I like about the structure is it has an atmospheric tone with hints of ambient at times. The Hills have Eyes! Just a movie and a nice little instrumentation. We hate You is something epic.Epic? Yes epic...and how. His vocals match very well with the strength of the song. Finally you get Dopethrone. What a song to end on. In essence its like the entirety of the album which it shares its name. It combines all the different deviations of the songs.
So in the end Dopethrone is an album to reckon with. Not for the faint of heart, or the impatient. This is an album for inspiration.
