Come My Fanatics: A Journey into the World of Electric Wizard

In 1993, the Dorset market town of Wimborne Minster, England, became the unlikely birthplace of Electric Wizard, arguably the heaviest band on the planet. Guided by guitarist and singer Jus Oborn, the group channelled the darkness of their lives into colossal waves of doom metal, a potent brew of the forbidding local landscape, biker culture, video-nasties, black magic rituals, and staggering amounts of psychedelics.

Come My Fanatics charts the compelling story of the band's ascent, their temporary setbacks, and their triumphant resurgence. It delves into their revolutionary and mind-expanding musical output, their legendary and often chaotic tours, and the enduring impact of their legacy. This book offers a kaleidoscopic journey through the subculture that Electric Wizard absorbed and, in turn, helped to define.

From the exploitation flicks of the seventies, through the unsettling tales of Weird Tales magazine, and a fascinating array of the marginal and downright sinister, to the band's own intense live performances, this is an exploration of Electric Wizard's unique and uncompromising world. Prepare for a deep dive into a band that truly carved its own sonic path.
