Electric Magma was formed between 2000 and 2001 by Tryg Smith, Tim Reesor and Tom Brouard.

Electric Magma has released seven full-length albums.

"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is the opening title track of English rock band Black Sabbath's 1973 album of the same name. Its main riff has been cited as "the riff that saved Black Sabbath" [1] because Tony Iommi, who wrote most of the band's music, had been suffering from writer's block.

The opening track, "The Reckoning", takes inspiration from political themes and addresses a possible loss of freedom in the future. [23] Musically, it features alternative metal influences and contains heavy riffs from an eight-string guitar.
