It began with The Beatles' 'Helter Skelter'. It was distilled to
its dark essence by Black Sabbath. And it has flourished into a
vibrant modern underground, epitomized by Newcastle's Pigs Pigs
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. This is the evolution of heavy music. The
voyage is as varied as it is illuminating: from the lysergic blunt
trauma of Blue Cheer to the locked grooves of Funkadelic, the aural
frightmares of Faust to the tectonic crush of Sleep, alighting on
post-punk, industrial, grunge, stoner rock and numerous other
genres along the way. Ranging from household names to obscure cult
heroes and heroines, Electric Wizards demonstrates how each
successive phase of heavy music was forged by what came before,
outlining a rich and eclectic lineage that extends far beyond the
usual boundaries of heavy rock or heavy metal. It extols those who
did things differently, who introduced something fresh and exciting
into this elemental tradition, whether by design, accident or sheer
chance. In doing so, Electric Wizards weaves an entirely new
tapestry of heavy music.
