Heavy fuzzed doom metal spews forth from Iowa’s
Sleep/Sabbath worshipping Wizard Bloody Wizard on their three-track self-titled
EP, with a dark mix of horror film sound-bites, slow chugging deep riffs, and
enough bass riffs to knock you off your feet.
The EP is woven with themes of the occult, witchcraft,
horror films, and cannabis that sees the short record showcase three quite
different tracks. Opener ‘In The Depths…’ is a slow doom-heavy track that
menaces along with muffled vocals stalking its prey, sending shivers down your
spine. ‘Children of the Night’ steps up the tempo, and volume, as the riffs come
in crushing and heavily, and the vocals become more audible with a more
worn-out approach to their sound. Wizard Bloody Wizard like to keep their riffs
heavy on the fuzz, but still cutting like a knife to your core, a sound akin to
their peers in Electric Wizard and Sleep alike. Closing track ‘Nocturnus
Sainturnus’ is an instrumental sludging metal track which is littered with film
sound-bites echoing desperation and haunting overtones, the perfect way to end
this statement EP.
