Electric Wizard - 'Supercoven' 2-track EP (Bad Acid) Mostly because of the twenty minute epic "Burnout" which sounds a bit like Monster Magnet doing a triple dose of valium. I've always dug this 2-track extended CD single as much as any other Electric Wizard release. It's bloody fantastic!Then we get the twelve minute title track "Supercoven" which sounds like it could easily be a long lost in a subterranean vault Sabbath cut. Hey,you can never be to sure. At one time,I did CD reviews for the label Bad Acid that put out a couple of well written issues. SUPER-HEAVY SUPER-METAL These two tracks contain more real music and emotion than a 1000 Linkin Parks. For all of the hype surrounding nu-metal and pop metal success these days, it's nice to see a REAL metal band still plugging away. Supercoven is the most balls-out, heavy, HEAVY doomrock you are ever likely to hear. The title track, clocking in just under 14 minutes, and it's b-side, "Burnout", coming in over 18 minutes long, leave you with ample time to load your bong and sit back and let the sonic pummelling begin. As doomrock goes, this is the high point of the genre. You can see a complete list of all Electric Wizard discography, or go back to the Electric Wizard tabs
