1. Wizard is a German Power Metal band, formed in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek. The band was often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". On some albums the lyrics are about battles, metal, war and steel. The exception were the albums Odin, which is a concept album about Norse mythology, Goochan which is a fantasy story about a witch (written by Volker Leson and author William B. Nuke), Thor which is also about north mythology and ... of wariwulfs and bluotvarwes which is about vampires and werewolfs (written by Wizard and Andre Wiesler, German author).
Wizard played at Wacken Open Air 2002, Bang Your Head!!! 2002, Keep It True 2004, Dokk'em Open Air 2006, Magic Circle Festival 2009 and is in the 2012 line-up of Hammerfest IV. In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems. In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after four albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released in January 27, 2007, titled Goochan. On may 18th, 2007, Michael Maass returned to the band after a three-year break. The band's 2009 album Thor received a positive review from The Pit reviewer Frank Heise, who praised "The Visitor" as the best track on it.
The band's 2011 album ...Of Wariwulfs and Bluotvarwes received a positive review from SLUG Magazine reviewer Dylan Chadwick noting that "well trodden, and admittedly formulaic, it's a resoundingly competent platter of steel-willed, fist pounding heavy metal that'll satisfy the most voracious headbanger's hunger."

Asgard
Wizard Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

See the shining place,
High in eternal space.
Across Heimdall's bridge
You have to go.
Unreachable for you and me.
We will never see
The home of the gods.
This holy land.

[Refrain:]
Asgard, Asgard.

The home of the Gods
Asgard,

Overall Meaning

Asgard.
Where heroes live forevermore.

The lyrics of Wizard's song "Asgard" speak of the legendary land of the gods, located high up in eternal space and separated from mortals by Heimdall's bridge. As the lyrics suggest, Asgard is a place that is unreachable for humans and only serves as the abode of the gods. It is a place of holiness and grandeur that is beyond the scope of human understanding. The song is essentially celebrating Asgard's beauty and its power as the home of the gods. The refrain of the song repeats the name of Asgard multiple times and emphasizes it as the place where heroes live forevermore.
