Black Masses

Black Masses is the seventh studio album by English stoner/doom metal band Electric Wizard, released 1 November 2010.

[2] "Venus in Furs" is based on the book of the same name by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch; however, the song made references to the film of the same name by Jesús Franco.

"[2]This is their first album since Electric Wizard to not feature a song longer than 10 minutes in length, although the fifth track, "Satyr IX", is close to the mark, clocking in at 9:58.

"[4] Doomantia largely celebrated the album, proclaiming "if you thought Witchcult Today was too polished, then you will love Black Masses.

It's a nasty, angry beast of a recording that oozes sleaze and reeks of satanic nightmares and drug induced apocalyptic visions.

Black Masses is the only Electric Wizard album to feature bassist Tas Danazoglou.
