ELECTRIC WIZARD BIOGRAPHY
Electric Wizard is a UK stoner/doom band, hailing from Dorset. They were formed in 1993 by lead guitarist and singer, Jus Oborn, and are currently signed to Rise Above Records. The band formed when Jus left his previous band Thy Grief Eternal, and joined Mark Greening and Tim Bagshaw (both now of Ramesses). Fast foward to 2004, and Electric Wizard are left with just their frontman. In August of that year Liz Buckingham (13, Sourvein), Justin Greaves (Iron Monkey) and Rob Al-Issa completes the line-up. Justin has since left the band and has been replaced by Shaun Rutter.
The new line-up has rejuvenated the band's sound, with live performances being infinitely tighter and more powerful.
