Olly PearsonGUEST
oh okay
JimmyHOST
with grand magus and electric wizard were headlining and yeah and certain cult The plague of gentlemen.
Olly PearsonGUEST
Right.
Olly PearsonGUEST
Yeah.
5 MINS LATER
JimmyHOST
like, yeah, yeah.
JimmyHOST
And
Olly PearsonGUEST
I remember like, what was it? Electric Wizard put out Super Coven, you know, and that was on the Bad Acid label.
Olly PearsonGUEST
So I remember looking at that.
Gavin McInallyHOST
I mean, see how much Wizard at the Bar is, that I'm quite happy to talk about.
Gavin McInallyHOST
Glad to see Electric Wizard doing so well.
Gavin McInallyHOST
Somehow found myself enjoying Interpol, which is a band I mixed up with another band for 20 years, and I feel like I've just robbed myself 20 years of listening to a band I would have liked because I was mixing them up with some other band.
Gavin McInallyHOST
And tomorrow, as you listen to this, I will be at the Culk and Ian show at the Hu- Hug and Pint.
Perran HelyesHOST
And then Ancient Hostility, which has the vocalist Simon from Dawn Raid in like a kind of multi-part, you know, harmony type thing, but singing about the same kind of like subject matter and stuff that Dawn Raid was singing about, so that was cool.
Perran HelyesHOST
The day before that, and the real highlight of my week, was I went to see rare tour rather than a festival appearance from none other than the mighty electric wizard which is a very again opportune occasion when they actually decide to like you know rock up somewhere and play a headline show or something Because you tend to have maybe one opportunity to see Electric Wizard every year or every two years.
Perran HelyesHOST
They'll play a Damnation or an Art Tangent or even the Dogtooth stage at Download or something like that.
Perran HelyesHOST
But it's very rare they actually do headline tour dates.
Perran HelyesHOST
So that was a phenomenal setting.
Perran HelyesHOST
And we don't kind of rave enough.
Perran HelyesHOST
About how Electric Wizard are one of the greatest live bands ever.
Perran HelyesHOST
Like particularly.
NighthawkGUEST
Just tell me what to buy.
NighthawkGUEST
So Electric Wizard was one of the first bands that he recommended to me.
NighthawkGUEST
And then, God, I was like in high school, like dating myself.
NighthawkGUEST
I was in high school when Songs for the Deaf came out.
NighthawkGUEST
Somebody needed a bassist.
NighthawkGUEST
Do you still
Dan SierrasHOST
have that Electric Wizard album?
NighthawkGUEST
I do.
Gavin McInallyGUEST
If you lose a chunk of your audience by the time these bands come on, we have seen what it looks like.
Gavin McInallyGUEST
The worst example being Cradle of Filth, but even Converge, Napalm Dev, Electric Wizard, hugely, hugely popular damnation bands that no one complains about.
Gavin McInallyGUEST
The crowds thinned out for the combination of those reasons.
Gavin McInallyGUEST
Having the rooms with other rooms at like 2500 capacity and 1800 capacity, it's much more difficult to get that feeling in those rooms.

KatHOST
But actually, when you look at the bill, it was really varied.
Gavin McInallyGUEST
Yeah, I mean, look at the bill.
Gavin McInallyGUEST
I mean, the guy about Electric Wizard just sold God knows how many thousand tickets across the UK.
Gavin McInallyGUEST
They were thubbed up in the bill.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Okay, so you're...
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Yeah, there isn't an objective most famous list, but if you're looking for the ten with the biggest historical and name recognition across the whole of Doom and its subgenres, you'd be pretty safe naming Black Sabbath, Candlemas, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Electric Wizard, Sleep, Trouble, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Cathedral.
AtiHOST
Thank you.
AtiHOST
Okay, this is interesting.
Kevin LindströmGUEST
Like some shows that stick out to me is probably like Vomitor and Hobbs' Angel of Death.
Kevin LindströmGUEST
And I went to this so-called secret show where Electric Wizard also played.
Kevin LindströmGUEST
And that was an experience.
TonyHOST
What age do you start to discover the history of Sweden? What are some of the Swedish bands that you're into at a young age?
Sie CarrollGUEST
I'm going to go completely.
Sie CarrollGUEST
You're going to say something Electric Wizard.
RichieHOST
Yeah, I'm going to say
Sie CarrollGUEST
that.
Sie CarrollGUEST
I'm going to say that.
Sie CarrollGUEST
No? Junioropolis.
Sie CarrollGUEST
Electric Wizard.
RichieHOST
Yeah.
Jimmy LongHOST
Even things from his first ever band leaking through into some of the images that hopefully we can maybe put up in this as well of leaking through to...
Jimmy LongHOST
Electric Wizard.
Jimmy LongHOST
Yeah, that's true.
Jimmy LongHOST
The design on a particular cab.
1 HR 18 MINS LATER
Alistair RiddellGUEST
No one's got a name that silly, so we got a name.
Alistair RiddellGUEST
Went into a studio, did a demo, and then we did our first gig.
Alistair RiddellGUEST
So our first gig was with Cathedral and Electric Wizard.
Jimmy LongHOST
What? Fuck
Nick BlevinsGUEST
Uh, went to Mars Volta, King Crimson, Yes, went really down the prog rab- rabbit hole and, and that, that's kinda what got me started.
Nick BlevinsGUEST
And then later got into the, uh, once we started Playing more into the more doomy stuff, The Sword and Electric Wizard, stuff like that.
Dan SierrasHOST
And when did you first pick up an instrument?
Nick BlevinsGUEST
My first instrument was actually in sixth grade, I started playing trumpet.
Dan SierrasHOST
[laughs]
Jake BlevinsGUEST
"What is going on?" So I was just, we were just, whenever he left that band, we finally decided to make that prog rock band like we were talking about, and moved on to the doom metal stuff.
Jake BlevinsGUEST
Same as him, he got me onto The Sword, Electric Wizard, all that.
Jake BlevinsGUEST
So yeah, that's how, uh, Nick started.
