Nice review, man.
One thing that I do notice that could make your writing a lot better is what I also struggle with. I sometimes go over the top with adjectives and adverbs describing the music, and speak a bit too "flowery" in my reviews. And you know that's the case when you read it aloud and it sounds awkward/forced. Like the first line here:
"Electric Wizard is an album that has us descending into an ominous abyss of inescapable darkness."
It's good imagery, but at the same it feels like too much. I think if you tried to say that in a more direct manner, it'd be more powerful. Otherwise it feels hyperbolic and therefore less credible, you know?
But the rest was great. I thought I'd try and help, because I really love your writing. :] very nice job, and you have a pos from me.

Oh thanks, I love constructive criticism. And I hear what your saying, like sometimes I try a too hard to "sound" professional with my writing and thats when I go over the top with my descriptions and at times it kind of comes out pretentious. I'll work on that. but anyway, thank you.

I'd say start with Dopethrone- that's definitely their most popular album. Oh, and thanks for telling me about Dot Hacker, i've really been digging them lately.
|
| |
Sweet I'll check it out, thanks man. Glad to hear you're enjoying Dot Hacker - if you like them and you like Ataxia I also recommend the Frusciante/Klinghoffer collab. 'A Sphere in the Heart of Silence'

I've heard that album it's pretty good, along with a handful of Frusciante's other solo stuff. The Empyrean is my favorite though.
|

this is decent.
|

I've only listened to Dopethrone from these guys, I'll check it out these days. Great & concise review. Too bad that line can't be edited. pos.

Finally. This needed a new review.
I had this on my reviewing plans. But you did a good job and now i don't have to bother myself.
About the album:
I think this is the definite Sabbath rip off. Many bands try to imitate the style, few managed to do
it up to some extent, and EW is one of those bands.
This, sounds mostly like a Sabbath tribute.
Black Butterfly has the same riff as BS.
All the songs are based on bluesy scales.
The font used for the logo is the same style used for Black Sabbath's self-titled album, a nod to
one of the band's inspirations.

Additionally, i think EW's debut is the only doom metal album they wrote. The band adopted the stoner
style only after their first LP.
