Electric Wizard`s "Witchcult Today" re-released via MBR

"Witchcult Today" is the sixth album by the doom metal band Electric Wizard. It was recorded entirely on vintage 1970s equipment at Toe Rag Studios and was released in November 2007. The sound of "Witchcult Today" was less harsh than preceding albums and Jus Oborn's vocals are much more prominent. It was the band's most well-received album in seven years.

The band's fascination with horror movies and writers continues here with "Satanic Rites of Drugula", a reference to the Hammer Studios horror film The Satanic Rites of Dracula, and "Dunwich", a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Dunwich Horror; also "Black Magic Rituals & Perversions (I. Frisson Des Vampires II. Zora)" makes reference to Jean Rollin film Le Frisson des Vampires (Shiver of the Vampires) and to Italian comic book character Zora the Vampire and furthermore the album cover of "Witchcult Today" is edited from the poster for The Devil Rides Out.

"Witchcult Today" has a new re-release scheduled for May 22, 2012 via Metal Blade Records. Below can be heard the song "Satanic Rites of Drugula."
