Ha, nobody buys Terrorizer either, I'd think? (I don't know actually, I've never read it.)
I don't know how limited it is exactly and it's probably crap anyway, but I'm a bit of a sucker for this stuff.
Wizard's Jus Oborn says:
'We had planned on releasing a cassette for a while now and then Terrorizer asked if we'd be into it. We love (the) dead formats, I mean, I still play the fuckin' things and VHS and even 8mm. Electric Wizard sounds great on tape anyway, too bassy and phased out, haha. The whole band grew up with tape-trading so we are all nostalgic for it, we did hundreds of Electric Wizard cassettes back in the day, all recorded in Tim Bagshaws lounge. The first time we saw a studio was when we did the first LP in 1993.
Basically this is the 'Legalise Drugs & Murder' Cassette EP . 'Legalise Drugs & Murder' & 'Murder & Madness' were recorded late last year and were released as a Ltd 7" in March. They are total statement of intent songs...'Legalise...' is really anthemic and a rallying call for all the Wizard freaks. 'Murder & Madness' is the result of late, late night/early morning bong sessions haha... our true 'statement of intent'.
'Satyr IX' is a nasty 4-track demo of the 'Black Masses' track. It was recorded on cassette in a freezing and mouldy rehearsal room, so its almost black metal. But really slow and cold with added mushrooms... actually back in the day I used to trade psych and magic mushroom tales with Euronymous and Metalian, they were total druggers back then.
'Patterns of Evil' was remixed cos we weren't 100% happy with the LP version. This is more aggressive and sleazy sounding.
Then we have a special track that we recorded with the 'Legalise..' sessions, its our Hawkwind/Amon Duul 2 homage for Dave Anderson at Foel. We always have a sick time there and its in the middle of fucking nowhere. I can't get enough of Dave's tales of early Hawkwind/Amon Duul 2 and meeting the Baader-Meinhoff, nearly joining Alice Cooper etc etc....
'Our Witchcult Grows...' the real wizard fans will know what this is.'
