Lance Ozanix led a highly anticipated Black Sabbath tribute band onto the stage in July of 2006. Electric Funeral immediately drew interest due to the ensemble of experienced players handpicked to complete the group as well as Lance’s own notoriety. Many Ozanix fans were waiting for the Skitzo front man and sometime-Ozzy impersonator to start up a new project since the break up of both Lance fronted Sabbath tributes, Paranoid and the all-star Sabbath/Ozzy cover band: Sweet Leaf.

And now, after a slow start, and no appearances since October the 13th, Electric Funeral has officially closed the doors on November. The authorized party line: “Electric Funeral will accept no gig, nowhere, at no time during the month of November.”
Meanwhile, persistent rumors swirl about a Sweet Leaf reunion and seemingly conflicting rumors place Electric Funeral at a high profile gig in December. With Skitzo drawing more and more thrash metal fans into the fold it is unlikely that Lancifer could run all three bands simultaneously.
I love it!
