ELECTRIC WIZARD: Präsentieren ersten Song, "I Am Nothing", vom neuen Album "Time To Die" | Premiere new song "I Am Nothing" from forthcoming album "Time To Die"

Electric Wizard, who recently revealed the title and artwork for their Spinefarm Records debut, premiere the first new music from Time to Die, with the song I Am Nothing streaming now via Noisey or Soundcloud.

Jus Oborn has said of the track, which harnesses the dark underground death metal spirit of 1984:

“It was the year I became a metal-head.  It was heavy shit for real – there was no way you were ever going to get a decent job.  So I became a Satanist, I dug up a grave, I got into tape trading, I had a one-man noise/black/death metal band called Regurgitated Guts, and there were loads of documentaries on TV warning us not to listen to the devil’s music…”

Produced by Oborn, the album was recorded at Toe Rag Studios in East London, with analog gear used exclusively throughout, with finishing touches done at Skyhammer Studio in “deepest, darkest” Cheshire by Chris Fielding.

Electric Wizard, who have just played at Hellfest in France, Roskilde in Denmark and Sonisphere in yhe UK, have the following appearances lined up for 2014, with more shows to be added:

Aug 16th  Jabberwocky, The Excel Centre, London, UK

Sep 12th  Reverence Valada, Portugal (headline with Hawkwind)

Oct 10th – 12th  Desertfest, Antwerp, Belgium

ELECTRIC WIZARD unveil "Time To Die" as title of forthcoming studio album; Official artwork revealed

Electric Wizard have today announced "TIME TO DIE" as the title of their forthcoming studio album; "TIME TO DIE" is the eighth full-length offering from the masters of aural punishment, and is testament to the fact that Electric ‘fucking’ Wizard continue to be the most uncompromisingly heavy, genuinely twisted and evil band in the world.

This will be their first album release since signing a worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records.

Says EW founding member, Jus Oborn: “All of our albums in the past have had a theme – revenge, drugs, black magick – and the theme of this one is death. Of course, death to us really means rebirth, so this album is a manifestation of a very primal occult belief in the final sacrifice. We have gone full circle – it was inevitable, but we had to do it. We had to kill the band so we could be reborn. It was the only way to ensure we could come back even stronger.”

The artwork, once again created by Oborn, is an extension of the theme; this is further solidified by the LP gatefold image, to be revealed at a later date.

Electric Wizard, who have just played at Hellfest in France, have the following festival appearances lined up for 2014, with more shows to be added:

July 3rd  Roskilde Festival, Roskilde, Denmark (Arena Stage)

July 4th  Sonisphere, Knebworth Park, UK (stage headline)

Aug 16th  Jabberwocky, The Excel Centre, London, UK

Sep 12th  Reverence Valada, Portugal (headline with Hawkwind)

Oct 10th – 12th  Desertfest, Antwerp, Belgium
