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."
Dead Hope
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the music of their dreams
Baldur and Iduna
Hand in hand they walk through Hel
Blinded by cruel darkness
They can't see what is around
Dazzled by their feelings
Two souls embraced by eternity
Brought together by a cruel destiny
Now they'll live 'til the end of time
In the realm of the death-queen
Baldur is dead, the god of life
Killed, bleeding in the sand
Baldur is dead, a poison arrow shot
By an evil hand
Cold tears, no emotions
Two living souls in a dead world
See the death-queen laughing
Don't care about their pain
Crying gods in Asgard
All hope is gone cold emotions
What stands in the future?
When all is said and done
Baldur is dead, the god of life
Killed, bleeding in the sand
Baldur is dead, a poisoned arrow
Shot, by an evil hand
Kill
Shot
Kill
The song "Dead Hope" by Wizard tells the story of Baldur and Iduna, two souls who are now dancing to the music of their dreams. They are walking through Hel, a world of darkness, hand in hand, blinded by the cruel darkness. They are dazzled by their feelings and do not hear the chaos scream. They have been brought together by destiny, embraced by eternity, and will now live until the end of time in the realm of the death-queen.
Baldur, the god of life, has been killed by an evil hand, bleeding in the sand with a poison arrow shot. The two living souls are crying in a dead world, with no emotions. They see the death-queen laughing and don't care about their pain. All hope is gone, and the gods in Asgard are crying cold tears. The future is uncertain when all is said and done.
The lyrics of the song are about the tragedy of death and the loss of hope. It describes the pain and suffering of those left behind after someone's life is cut short unexpectedly. The song portrays the idea that even in the realm of the death-queen, love never dies, as Baldur and Iduna are brought together by destiny and are embraced by eternity.
