My personal favourite Vitus album is V. Goatsnake sort of suck.
Electric Wizard's best is probably Dopethrone...

Sheavy are pretty awesome. They're so much like early Sabbath its unbelievable, even the vocalist sounds like Ozzy.

Their un-traditional in a doom sense seeing as their not as 'thick sounding' as say
Electric Wizard but If you're a fan of Early Sabbath you're bound to like them.

[Lolicat]

Electric Wizard is Sludge, so it's bound to sound thicker.

Witchcraft also sound like Pentagram/Sabbath.

Also, I think 'Doom' deserves a medal, for the fact that everything associated with the term tends to be awesome: Dr Doom, MF Doom, Doom Metal, Doom the game, Doom the crust punk band.

I would never in my life consider Electric Wizard sludge. If you want sludge try Acid Bath to see the stark difference. Yes sludge is an offshoot of doom metal but sludge metal is almost uniquely American and very different.

[Lolicat]

I can see that argument, actually, but I've always heard them discussed in reference to the genre, and I feel they're closer to sludge than doom, or god forbid, 'stoner doom'.

Thats all just nitpickin and ****. Electric Wizard uses clean vocals. You cant have a death metal band with clean vocals and you cant have a sludge band without abrasive vocals.
