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."
Dawn of Evil
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With demons at his side and black hordes behind
he saw the world in flames. The gods laid in their
blood, the cruel hand of evil catch this blue hall.
This is the dawn of evil. The age of the serpent
will begin.
cruel and cold as ice come to the sacrifice for the black
lord. Feel his evil power and hail him to the end.
The priests of the unknown on their crusade of pain. Wirth
flames of darkness in their bloody hands. They will
come to the sacrifice to hail the new lord but
they will die.
The moon is shining, black clouds are coming. Smell the
demons breathe the master of the underworld will bring
the eternal death. He will drink your blood like water.
Will scatter all your bones, will rip out your entrails.
Be the sacrifice for the black lord.
Bloodstone, the altar of evil
Bloodstone, the altar of sin
Bloodstone, the master of the underworld arrives.
This stone is your grave, feel the pain. Nobody
will save you. The wicked place of the black cult
will be your deathbed. The seven gates of hell
are opened by the black lord. Rotting flesh is coming
out of their graves.
But then white lightnings crashing in the altar of sin.
The pile is burning, the flesh is screaming. This
is the demons breathe. The battle of gods and evil
comes to it's end. The wight light gods, today they are
victorious but the unholy priests will stand
for a new fight and than once again they will praise
and preach the dawn of evil.
The lyrics of Wizard's song Dawn of Evil tell a story of a dark and apocalyptic world. The first stanza talks about how the master of the underworld, or the devil, arrives with his army of demons and black hordes to see the world in flames. The gods are lying in their blood and everything seems to be in the hands of evil. The singer states that this is the dawn of evil and the age of the serpent will begin. This line refers to the serpent in the Garden of Eden, symbolizing temptation, sin, and the fall of humanity. Thus, this is the beginning of a new era of wickedness and corruption.
In the second stanza, we see the complete control of the devil over humanity. Flames of darkness burn the innocent soul, and people offer themselves as sacrifices to the black lord. The priests of the unknown are on their crusade of pain and they carry flames of darkness in their bloody hands. Unfortunately, they too will become a sacrifice to the devil. The moon is shining, black clouds are gathering, and the demons are gathering, waiting for the master of the underworld to begin the eternal death. The singer warns that he will drink your blood like water, scatter your bones, and rip out your entrails. The altar of evil, also known as Bloodstone, is where the devil will accept your sacrifice.
However, the last stanza ends with the idea that the battle of gods versus evil never ends. White lightning crashes in the altar of sin, and the pile is burning with flesh screaming. This is the demons' breath. The battle may be won today by the white light gods, but the unholy priests will stand for a new fight and then, once again, they will praise and preach the dawn of evil. This conveys the idea that evil is always lurking, tempting, and corrupting our world.
