In 2020, Dan Franklin wrote one of the best books I’ve ever read about the caustic enigma that is heavy metal. It was called - because why call it anything else - Heavy, and even within a corner of music book publishing that is saturated with said subject matter, it stood alone as definitive and hugely insightful.

I finished the book excited about what Dan might do next.

The answer is Come My Fanatics: A Journey Into The World of Electric Wizard, a new take on Dorset doom pioneers Electric Wizard. Conceived with the full cooperation of the band, published by the ever-impressive White Rabbit Books and unleashed upon the world on June 22nd, it is a brilliantly told story about a brilliant heavy metal band.

I invite you to lose yourself in the strange and unsettling world of Electric Wizard - but first, to meet your tour guide...
