Reviews For Week Of August 10th

Electric Wizard-Black Masses

Electric Wizard Black Masses LP Rise Above Records After being pretty lukewarm on their last few records, and not liking this one when it first came out, I am beginning to get into the latest record from Electric Wizard.

This is growing on me…
