About this listen

In 1993, in the market town of Wimborne Minster in Dorset, England, the heaviest band in the world was born: Electric Wizard. Led by guitarist and singer Jus Oborn, the band inhaled the iniquity of their lives and vomited it out in colossal waves of doom metal, synthesising the forbidding local landscape, biker culture, video-nasties, black magic rituals and titanic doses of psychedelics.

Come My Fanatics is the story of the rise and fall and triumphant return of the band, of their revolutionary and mind-expanding output, their legendary and calamitous tours, and of their legacy. It is a kaleidoscopic exploration of the subculture the band has absorbed and, in turn, created. From seventies exploitation cinema, through the writers of Weird Tales magazine and a panoply of the marginal and downright sinister, to the band's own live ceremonial happenings - this is Electric Wizard's world. We're just dying in it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Most relevant
The book is essentially an authorised biography of Jus Oborne rather than a book about the band as a whole and the members over the years. There are so many detailed tangents about films, etc., that it's hard to know whether the author is such a huge Jus fan he felt it all relevant or whether it's padding to fill out a book. That said, it's extremely well written so if you're a big fan of all their albums it could be enjoyable. If you're a first four albums only person then it's not going to be your thing I doubt. There's no input really from other members so it's a bit of a one sided story overall.

A book about Jus Oborne rather than EW
