After a four - year self - imposed exile filled with drug abuse, arson, robbery, and near - death experiences, the world's most intense stoner sludge band, Electric Wizard, is back. Their new album 'Dopethrone' is their heaviest, acid - drenched, yet accessible work to date. It takes you into a strange and paranoid world of 70's exploitation movies, heavy marijuana use, and the harsh reality of unemployment and crime. The album reflects the dullness of daily life where nothing is questioned. It's not just 70's rock but the real deal - dark, oppressive, hallucinatory, and extremely heavy. This is an all - time classic, one of the heaviest albums ever made. It's the 3rd studio album from the British doom/stoner metal band. The double vinyl is in dark purple, brown, or green (note: it may look black under normal lighting) and comes in a gatefold sleeve. Originally released in 2000, it's re - issued by Rise Above Records in 2023.
This is a vinyl record, so to use it, you'll need a record player. Just place the vinyl gently on the turntable, set the needle on the starting groove, and let the music play. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. When not in use, always return the vinyl to its gatefold sleeve to protect it from scratches and dust. And remember, the vinyl color is very dark, so don't be surprised if it looks black under normal lighting.
