A band whose creative process has often been as lethargic as their drawn-out doom dirges, Electric Wizard surprised many fans when they announced the imminent release of their fourth album, Let Us Prey a mere year and a half after 2000s monolithic Dopethrone -- itself preceded by nearly four years of silence. Probably for this very reason, Let Us Prey weighs in at a comparatively trim 45 minutes or so and makes for a significantly easier meal to digest than its epic predecessor; but it also falls short of Dopethrone in delivering what many consider to be the final word in doom metal. In fact, it appears that, having stuffed those four years of frustration into Dopethrone's perfectly colossal mass, the world's most doleful trio used Let Us Prey to take a concerted step back from the edge, and allow themselves the privilege to explore a few new directions. A good case in point, first track "A Chosen Few" immediately finds them scaling back their extreme volume and feedback in order to make room for added guitar textures; and second offering "We, the Undead" sees them stepping on the gas and embarking upon a manic thrash-out the likes of which they've rarely attempted (topped by ultra-distorted screaming from singer Jus Osborn). Both are also uncharacteristically short and to the point, but the two-part instrumental "Master of Alchemy: I. House of Whipchord/II. The Black Drug" is more familiar. At nearly ten minutes, it resurrects the vintage, head nodding Wizard of old, and may just qualify as the greatest incidental horror movie soundtrack ever committed to tape. Sadly, its also the album's last unquestionable winner, as subsequent stoner epics "The Outsider" and "Priestess of Mars," while still offering plenty of doom for your buck, start to sound somewhat automatic and recycled. Also, separating the two is an eyebrow-raising anomaly called "Night of the Shape" consisting of piano and saxophone mood music (shock!) splayed out over a nearly electronic drumbeat. Ultimately, Let Us Prey's riskier experiments and occasional inconsistencies, however small, are bound to disappoint Electric Wizard fanatics accustomed to magnum opus after magnum opus; but the fact of the matter is that it still leaves most competitors coughing in the band's pot smoke. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Electric Wizard includes: Jus Osborn (guitar); Mark Greening (drums).

Mojo (Publisher) (5/02, p.102) - "...A supremely heavy mix of lumbering prehistoric riffs and low-end stoner sludge with Hammer Horror trappings..."

3 stars HHHHMMMMM
Great stuff to be had here, but if you're a new pledge to the Wizard, better to get Dopethrone instead. Very similar, yet more diverse. The pinnacle!

4 stars Oh, that's wicked...
It's the sonic equivalent of the final, agonizing pulses of a weak and dying heart. Listening to this stuff makes me feel like I've just buried myself in the back yard during a thunderstorm...and now I'm too tired to dig myself out. Yup, it's SLOW. Yup, it's HEAVVVVY. Just the thing you need at 3:00 in the morning when your Prozac is wearing off and you don't have enough cash for a refill!!! Highly recommended!

Roland Majeau BiographyRoland Majeau is a singer songwriter with music that speaks in quiet, personal tones. Using real life experiences or creating adventures of his own Roland’s goal is to transport the listener to a world of comfort, laughter, adventure, reflection or even tears.He is a true believer that words are the most powerful tool that we have to captivate, move, inspire and console the wandering hearts that travel and live in a world of change, adventure, danger and sometimes fear. There is little doubt that when you hear Roland perform you will be reminded of a very famous singer songwriter by the name of James Taylor. This sound likeness is a natural outpouring of phases and cadences that make you think you have known this new friend for a long time. The most frequently asked questions at Roland’s gigs are, “did anyone ever tell you that you sound a lot like James Taylor?” and “do you mind when people say that you sound like James Taylor?” Roland’s answers are always the same, “yes people say that a lot” and “no I don’t mind being compared to James Taylor, I think that it’s a huge compliment”.Performing and writing real music for real people, Roland Majeau’s music, humor and heart have captured the attention of the professional world of television, radio, and stage and also the arenas of politics, charities and churches. He really speaks to and for “the people” with understanding and charm that not only draws them in but also keeps them there. A storyteller at heart, Majeau’s gift of writing songs with warmth, wit and a focus on real life issues, is not only engaging but also captivating. Majeau’s unique blend of country/folk/pop is a combination that’s pleasing to the ear and however categorized, is a music that tells a story. Roland has a very unique ability to write for a specific causes or events which is leading him to pursue more writing for film and television. Such as the sound track he composed for the 1 hour documentary Riel’s Honour.With three albums to his credit and several single releases as well as a growing list of special accomplishments ...
