"We Live" is the fifth album by the doom metal band Electric Wizard, and the first recorded with the band's second line-up. Due to the addition of second guitarist Liz Buckingham, the songs are more complex than a lot of those previous.

Much was made of the acrimonious split between sole remaining member Jus Oborn and ex-members Mark Greening and Tim Bagshaw. Oborn has given few interviews since the original line-up split, but "We Live" is obviously something of a statement of intent for the band. They are named "The Electric Wizard" for the first time on the album cover, and "Electric Wizard II" in the booklet. The booklet also contains the statement: "My enemies, I fear not...but God protect me from my friends".

For this release, Electric Wizard continue to be inspired by horror movies. "Eko Eko Azarak" is the title of the first in a series of Japanese horror movies directed by Shimako Sato, while "Tutti I Colori Del Buio" and "Living Dead at Manchester Morgue" are named after a 1972 Sergio Martino movie and a 1974 Jorge Grau horror movie, respectively. In addition, the track "We Live" samples dialogue from Don Sharp's 1973 British horror classic Psychomania.
