''Black Masses'' is the seventh studio album by English stoner/doom metal band Electric Wizard, released 1 November 2010. It is the band's only album to feature bassist Tas Danazoglou. Background Guitarist-vocalist Jus Oborn described the album as a "continuation of ''Witchcult Today'' in many respects," although he also sees it as part of a lineage composed of '' Come My Fanatics...'', '' Supercoven'', ''Dopethrone'', and ''Witchcult Today''. However, he does draw a contrast between ''Black Masses'' and ''Witchcult Today'' in that he views the former as "violent, aggressive" and the latter as "mellow and alluring". "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. As Oborn notes, "Venus in Furs" is "about evil women. Every song on the album is a meditation on a different type of evil.
