Electric Wizard - Black Masses (2010)


Sludge

     Sludge is my new obsession.  One of my favorite albums last year was Electric Wizard's latest, Black Masses.  Legends in the sludge/stoner scene, these guys have been consistently delivering super heavy riffs since 1993, and along with Kyuss, have many albums that are considered to be landmarks of the genre.  Sludge metal is definitely a tough sell, songs can get pretty long and vocals are often distorted and muffled, but it's really all about the riffs. Heavy fucking riffs. And love it or hate it, Black Masses is heavy shit.
