Two bands / artists that spread their ‘creepy crawlie’ subliminal influence over the Electric Wizard sound.
“Cult (and we mean really fuckin kkvvuullttttt!!??) Pittsburgh Doom pioneers Dream Death are back from the dead!!, says Jus Oborn. “1987′s Journey into Mystery LP was a blueprint for a ‘chosen few’ doom freaks… evil churning riffs, proto 70s influences, HP lovecraft / weird tales inspired lyrics and tortured ‘real’ vocals. Everyone else was ‘thrashing’ but this was it… ominous, foreboding, twisted and evil and it definitley pointed us in the right direction. We are unbelievably excited to witness them live at last and hope you will join us in screaming every word from Back From The Dead: “I hope you enjoyed the living me cos the dead one never ends.”
“And from even further into the abyss we present legendary aural terrorists and brain agitators Psychic TV / PTV3!!! Formed in the early 80′s after the disbanding of Throbbing Gristle, this legendary outfit was always a dark subliminal influence. Their live performances would still haunt various festivals when we were teenagers and they were always scary… their fans , their image. Back then it meant something to shock people, to wake them up from their government imposed comas.”
“I also remember their fake (?) cult Temple Ov Psychic Youth, which had a huge influence on us and the early black metal scene, they even got satanic ritual footage on the BBC. Its all been done before kids and it started here.”
“Even More Incredible bands to be announced SOON !!!”

We have ALL ways wanted to play at ROADBURN!!! And to be invited by Electric Wizard is a nightmare come true ( or would that be false?)…Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth “anti-cult” got me exiled from the U.K. for 7 years! So how fake, or real is that? My SELF lost everything, including 2 houses, overnight! Luckily we were in Kathmandu…MAGICK DEFENDS ITSELF!!!
But forget the past, the FUTURE is where energy and excitement reside…VIVA LA EVOLUTION!
Psychic TV/PTV3 are hyper HARD PSYCHEDELIC mantra songs…just ask Julian Cope.
BIG LOVE TO Electric Wizard, Walter and all of you whose minds WILL TO BE BLOWN
