German Heavy Metallers Wizard To Reissue Four Studio Albums 

Wizard

German True Heavy Metallers Wizard will reissue their four studio albums in 2015, via Limb Music. New editions of: ‘Bound By Metal’ (1999), ‘Head Of The Deceiver’ (2001), ‘Odin’ (2003) and ‘Magic Circle’ (2005), have been remastered by Markus Teske (Vanden Plas, Mob Rules, Symphony X), and will include bonus tracks. Except that, ‘Odin’ and ‘Magic Circle’ reissues will also include bonus video clips.

“Nobody told us that Metal was dead – believe me”, says Wizard drummer, Snoppi. “We didn’t notice that in the rehearsal room…” he adds. This totally naive yet very honest statement, taken from an early interview, is WIZARD in a nutshell. The only thing that counts for them is the absolute will to write one good metal album after another and to keep the flame burning for the best kind of music in the world. The opinion of the international press that Wizard is Germany’s answer to Manowar is not entirely incorrect. The band with singer Sven D’Anna take their fast, furious True Metal sound from similar sources as Joey DeMaio’s American band. Despite that, Wizard songs have their very own identity.

‘Head Of The Deceiver’, ‘Odin’ and ‘Magic Circle’ albums will be available on March 27 in Europe, and May 12 in North America. ‘Bound By Metal’ reissue will be available on April 10 in  Europe, and May 26 in North America.

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
