Legalise Drugs & Murder is an EP by the doom metal band Electric Wizard.
Background
Legalise Drugs & Murder was released on March 31, 2012 at a special release party at the HMV Forum in London, England. The release was made as largely a teaser until the next Electric Wizard album was finished. Also at this show was the debut of then-new members Glenn Charman and Simon Poole. The statement "Legalise Drugs and Murder" originated from the inner booklet to Dopethrone.
On October 1, 2012, Electric Wizard issued the EP in a cassette form free with issue #228 of Terrorizer Magazine. This version contained four additional tracks. One of the songs, a 2012 remastered demo of "Satyr IX" from Black Masses, was released as a flexi disc for issue #94 of Decibel Magazine on August 1, 2012. "Patterns of Evil" is an alternate mix from the song on Black Masses. "Lucifer (We've Gone Too Far)" and "Our Witchcult Grows..." are unreleased outtakes.
On June 23, 2016 it was re-issued on 12" EP via Witchfinder Records.[1]
