Electric Wizard’s “SadioWitch” is more than half as short as the “I Am Nothing,” the first song you’ve heard from their forthcoming album, Time to Die. That doesn’t mean that it packs any less of a punch. If “SadioWitch” was a vehicle, it would be a ’70s Chevy van with no windoes, shag carpeting on the inside, and a painting of a wizard on it. The video for the song, which premiered on Revolver today, is almost as trippy as the lysergic video for “I Am Nothing,” featuring drug use, topless women being whipped, and a hooded woman holding a skull. Pretty much all you can ask for in a song that’s a riffy, fuzzy stoner jam. Here’s what singer/guitarist Jus Osborn says about the video:
“Clandestinely filmed scenes of Luciferian depravity” of the kind “long-awaited by the diehard cult of Wizard fans… A visual amalgamation of Kenneth Anger’s psychedelic occultism, the monomania of Jess Franco, and the unbridled excess of Robert Hartford Davies, documenting fully the pleasures of the flesh, drugs and sadism… as they really happen today…”
Time to Die will be released on Spinefarm Records on September 30th. You can preorder it here.
