Doom / stoner band from Dorset, England.

Lord Of Putrefaction,
Thy Grief Eternal and
Eternal, Electric Wizard was formed in 1993 by
Jus Oborn (guitar, vocals), together with
Tim Bagshaw (bass) and Mark Greening (drums). After releasing 4 albums - among them Come My Fantaics (1997) and Dopethrone (2000) - Bagshaw and Greening left the band in February 2003, forming
Ramesses.
Oborn has since continued the band with his wife Liz Buckingham on second guitar, and various bassists and drummers. Rob Al-Issa played bass on We Live (2004) and Witchcult Today (2007) while Shaun Rutter played drums on the latter, plus Black Masses (2010). Greening briefly returned to the band for 2014 album Time to Die.
