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."
Call to the dragon
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They lived on this world
Majestic creatures
Blessed by the gods
High in the sky
Down in their caves
They created and reigned
[Bridge:]
Now all are dead
Only one survived
In immortality
Forever he will raise
[Ref:]
She calls for help to the dragon in the sky
Through the eternal hall of time he has to fly
To help the world to save mother earth
Powered by his hate to the human kind
No.. longer the hunted
Now he is the savior
Of all that lives
On mother earth
He will fight
To those who destroyed
His planet of birth
His home and his land
[Bridge:]
He knows that this fight
Will come fast
That this war for life
Will be his last quest
Andala tharain!
Hwest ed ur.
Tirina va arda.
Aran I vista.
Turosto teld?.
Rilma adel ninniach.
Halapa, halapa, edonai, Dracona.
The song "Call to the Dragon" by Wizard talks about a time when majestic creatures inhabited the world, blessed by the gods, and reigned over a world without hate. These creatures ruled from high above in the sky or deep down in their caves. However, in the present day, all of these creatures are dead except for the immortal dragon who has survived. The dragon is called upon to help save mother earth from the humans who have destroyed his planet of birth.
The dragon, who was once hunted, is now the savior of all that lives on mother earth. He is powered by his hate for the human kind and is willing to fight for everything that has been destroyed. He knows that this fight will come fast, and this war for life will be his last quest. The song is a call to the dragon to rise up and fight against the destruction of the planet.
