Witchcult Today is the sixth album by the doom metal band Electric Wizard. It was recorded entirely on vintage 1970s equipment at Toe Rag Studios,^[1] and was released in November 2007. Witchcult Today was less abrasive than preceding albums and Jus Oborn's vocals are much more prominent. It was the band's most well-received album in seven years.
